I think I am done with purses forever myself as well.

When I have one, and the dang thing gets fuller and fuller = heavier and heaveir = shoulder pain... I ask myself: "what am I REALLY doing with all this junk anyway?!?!".

I carry a cute little Coach wristlet. It's perfect for what I really need. Plus, you can just let if hand off the arm while shopping etc. That way attached to the body, you don't lose it.

SS... I hope your missing stuff turns up soon!
