Me oh my, but I find myself the proud owner of a new handbag ‘earned’ by writing a caption.
This elegant pink bag by designer Shona Easton is part of her new range for Spring 2012. All Shona’s bags come in a wonderful range of colours, but she chose pink for Valentine’s Day. Her challenge was to complete the sentence, ‘I need one of those pink bags right now because ..’.
Hmm, I thought, needs some alliteration here: how about:’.. perfect pink beats February blues,’ or ‘.. I’ve a passionate penchant for perfect pink’?
Yes, ‘perfect pink beats the February blues’ is probably the better of the two, but in the end I sent in both. Shona thought my effort was worth a prize, and now dare I say at the end of an otherwise dreary day I’m feeling in the pink?
It’s a good-sized bag and should be inspirational while carrying my maps and papers when I’m out on the trail researching for my book.
Thank you, Shona!
