When a Princess goes out she must be prepared for all eventualities, tucked away in a handbag or purse she carries all those little essentials and treasures that she can never be without. I have put together a list of items that a princess might like to carry with her, of course this varies with each of us.

• A handkerchief, lace or otherwise, embroidered with her initials. For little sneezes and coughs and to offer to a tearful friend or acquaintance.
• A cardholder, silver or embossed leather perhaps. To hold one’s calling cards and other important pieces of plastic and paper.
• A small diary or notebook and a pen. For recording her wonderful adventures and whimsical thoughts. Also useful for shopping lists, to do lists and spontaneous poetry.
• A folding hand fan, lace, bamboo or paper. For cooling oneself on a hot day or in a stuffy room. Also keeps one’s hands busy and can be used for signalling friends and gentlemen.
• Cosmetics case, containing a little powder, lip gloss, a comb, mirror and a small bottle of perfume at the least. For refreshing oneself and maintaining appearances.
• A little coin purse, possibly beaded or made of tapestry, with enough change for emergencies and charity.
• A handful of boiled sweets, mints, candied nuts or small chocolates. To take away a bad taste or keep her from feeling faint. Also nice to be able to offer to a tired or woeful friend.
• A good book, to relieve moments of bored and transport one far away when life gets a little too tedious. Very useful when one is forced to wait for anything.
• Gloves. Warm fur trimmed in winter, lace in summer, silk for evenings. Gloves are one of the most elegant accessories and also protect the hands and prevent one from picking up unwanted germs.
• Sewing kit. Cute little emergency sewing kits are easily found and invaluable in cases of a lost button or loose thread.

Other things this Princess sometimes carries: bubble blower, disney princess bandaids, birdseed, tami-chan, organizer, purikura album, cute stickers, keys, tea bags, purse, compact mirror, camera, pink DS lite and sometimes Milky or Fleur for company!
