Gaming Purse with Coat of Arms of the Duke of Matignon (1660-80)
Crimson Gaming Purse (C17th)
These types of purses were used at the gaming table to hold money or counters. Playing and betting on card games was a popular pastime for the wealthy during the late 17th century. The sculptural shape and flat base of the bags prevented the contents from spilling or being revealed, while the coat of arms on the bottom identified the owner.

Bags: Inside Out
(July - January 2022)
Bags: Inside Out is the UK's most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the ultimate accessory. With an exclusive look inside the world of the factory and atelier, this exhibition explores our longstanding fascination with the bag, from designer handbags to despatch boxes, vanity cases to military rucksacks.
Bags project bold statements to the outside world whilst concealing our most treasured belongings. Featuring around 300 objects, varying in scale from tiny purses held on a fingertip to luxurious travel trunks, the exhibition explores the function, status and craftsmanship of these highly covetable objects from the 16th century to today.
The first section of the exhibition examines bags as practical objects designed to hold our belongings – from holiday outfits to confidential documents, make-up to money and even gas masks.
Titled Status and Identity, the second of the exhibition sections looks at the central role of the bag in celebrity culture as well as its notoriety amongst the political and societal elite.
The use of bags as a blank canvas for slogans, personal statements and political messages and their role as a public platform to share beliefs and convictions is represented through objects including an anti-slavery reticule bag from 1825, the 'I am NOT a Plastic Bag' tote by Anya Hindmarch and a 'My Body My Business' handbag by artist and activist Michele Pred.
The final section of the show will look at the Design and Making process from sketch to sample, sewing to selling. A 'maker's table' will allow visitors to get up close with bag making processes and materials, alongside newly commissioned interviews with designers and makers.
A hotbed for collaboration, the bag offers an opportunity for experimentation and statement designs. A 17th-century purse in the shape of a frog, Thom Browne's handbag in the form of his dog Hector and a Chanel bag transformed into a milk carton will explore the surrealism and humour evoked through accessories.
The exhibition finishes with designers experimenting with innovative and environmentally sustainable materials.

Walking back from the market we walked by this baseball game that was going on at a near by field. I think it was sort of semi-professional league because the players were very good, but ranged in ages from almost teenagers to fully grown men. The quality of play was high though. They were all taking it very seriously.
This was my first attempt at a homemade mugg. It turned out terrible and I feel bad because I did it as a Christmas present for a guy I work with. He had done an illustration, which you can see on the box art I created, and I thought it would be fun to try and paint one of my kid's Muggs. It was hard. What we all love about Muggs, the round, smooth feel, makes it unbelievably hard to paint. But I thought I would post it to show my failure and to warn those that it's not easy. I would also recommend that you use an airbrush or spray paints and not a brush. See the box posted as well.

Our latest board game is Settlers of Catan. I only played it once before, but it was all new to Luis. I'm red, he's orange. Notice where the (gray) burglar is?! Grr! Needless to say, he won this game (again - after my 2-pt disaster from "Ticket to Ride"). When will I win?!
