How did I stumble upon the Handbag Museum...


I'm so happy that it's official - we're going to Europe.  To the Netherlands.  To Amsterdam.  Last year was our first trip there and ever since we've decided we would visit annually.  I'm even more excited this time because I've found another attraction:

The Museum of Bags and Purses (conveniently located near the hotel I might add) has over 4,000 handbags, pouches, and accessories dating back to the 17th century all the way to the present.  Nonetheless, I'll have to cross my fingers on this once since I remember Amsterdam having a bunch of hokey museums.  Looks promising though...

Doesn't this look a lot like the new Marc Jacob's bags??
