  • I am so happy to find you on Hometalk, Rita! I wanted to comment on your purse, but I can't because I am I am not on Google+. I LOVE it! You know the French-American connection really spoke to me. I used to drive to Verdun all the time when I lived in France and pass the WWI battlefield there. Thanks so much for sharing it at the Scoop!...hugs...Debbie

      @Debbie @ Confessions of a Plate Addict, thanks for the visit! I thought you might like it for your connection, and thanks for sharing the additional info on the WWI battlefield. Even if just states-bound, Imagine the places this bag's been!
