Sharon Barber Purse Design Feature – Mirror

Interchangeable purse parts are just one aspect of the many features of a Sharon Barber purse.

Most women carry a compact mirror, in their purse, to be able to check their appearance while they are out and about.  You sure don’t want to go on a job interview and not realize that you had that little spec of spinach, from lunch, still in your teeth.  If you need to refresh your lipstick, you will certainly need a mirror.

One of the many features of a Sharon Barber transformable purse is the built-in impact resistant mirror on the purse base.  There is no need to carry other mirrors in your purse because the mirror is always there.  Just open the wrap flap, pull it up and take a peek.  Making life simpler is what it is all about.  Minimize and have more time to have fun.

First Woman to be Elected President of the USA

Today, February 20, 2012, is Presidents’ Day in the USA.  It is a day to honor the office of the Presidency.  We have never had a woman as President.  Women were not even allowed to vote years ago.  Gaining that right was a slow process and they began to receive rights in certain states.  It wasn’t until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was signed, that all women in the United States of America were given the right to vote.

It is highly possible that the first female president will be from the baby-boomer generation.  Hopefully she will be elected based on her abilities, that she is the best choice and not just because she is a female.  A token female would have negative consequences for all women.

The importance of women having equal rights and opportunities as men can not be underestimated.  Who will be the first Woman to be elected as President of the United States of America?

Purse Hooks, Purse Hangers

A purse hook or purse hanger (also known as a handbag hook or handbag hanger) is a type of hook meant to temporarily secure a purse or handbag to a table, sink or armrest. Such hooks have been available since the 1920s. Queen Elizabeth II is said to employ an S-shaped one to hang her purse on.

There are at least four types of purse hooks available today. The order is based on patent file dates.

The original L style type with a circular pad and a rigid bent wire.

The link type with circular pad and a set links that either wrap around the pad or make a “hook”

A spring closing bracelet type

A twisting ring type

The practical uses for a purse hook are obvious and every effort should be used to keep the bottom of your purse clean.  For those times that it is impossible to prevent laying your purse down, such as airport security bins, keep individual sanitizer packets (not a bottle) with you at all times.

Jigsaw Puzzles to Transformable Toy Puzzles

Kids have so much fun while putting a puzzle together and they don’t even know that they are also learning from these toys. Puzzles teach girls and boys a variety of skills depending on the type of puzzle you select such as depth perception, small motor skills and patience.

All types of puzzles are good for learning. When you think of puzzles, you probably think only of the zigsaw puzzle that comes in a box with 500 or more pieces. This is only one type of puzzle. There are many puzzles to choose from like, crossword or seek-n-find, Sudoku puzzles and even reading puzzles. Today there are Dummy books on almost every topic, including how to design and create your own puzzles. These include math puzzles, reading puzzles, language arts puzzles, music puzzles, and many more.

Puzzles can teach your child hand-eye coordination and help to develop their memory. They will also help them learn to solve more complex problems.

There are toys that transform to create a different toy. These puzzles are usually more complex, but they are still puzzles. There is even a transformable puzzle purse for little girls as shown here.  Playing while learning is always best.
