New Place, New Purse

Before I left Seoul, I did some thing a little bit silly. I bought a purse that I certainly do not need. But it is beautiful, classic, and has the added bonus of a hidden little detail just for me.

Sometimes, when one comes to a new place, it is important to find things that make you smile, and this purse certainly does that. It is something that I can, of course, use and enjoy while I am here. But, it is also something I will take home and remember as the first thing I bought during my time in Asia. I am a sucker for that kind of thing. I want to be able to look around my future home and see breadcrumbs from the places I have been. I want to display my life and travels on my walls, in the food I make, and, of course, in my closet.

And the little detail just for me? Open the inside, and there is a little patch that says:

                        “Wherever you go, I will follow”

That sold me. It is a little bit of poetry for me to carry around, and that makes me smile.
