Hi there. New to the forum and hope I am posting this to the Question of the week! I am sure I am the oldest one on this forum, but here goes. My first purse was an alligator handbag that my father bought me when I was 16 years old. That was many, many, many years ago. I still have it in the closet. I cannot bear to part with it. But I also cannot believe that I still have it after moving five times in two different states, getting married, having children, now grand children. i am sure when I die, the kids will see the thing and ask, "What in the world is that."
