It was just last week when I was out with friends having a great time at a wine walk. We were sipping wines and enjoying a leisurely stroll from wine station to wine station through a wonderful shopping district. After sipping our last selection, we decided to pop into the new Tuscan Italian restaurant because they had a lovely patio and we had only heard raves about their menu. Our table was located in the perfect nook of the patio, we were very pleased.

As I took my seat, I remembered I had, at the last minute, changed my mind about my handbag. You know, the chance to coordinate the handbag and outfit…well, from my everyday bag I grabbed out my lip stick, wallet, sunglasses, pill box and a few other essentials; however, I neglected the purse hook I always keep in my handbag. Sitting down to dinner, when I need it most, was not the best time to think of it.

Our group was large and the table was full of wonderful Tuscan Italian dishes and no place for my handbag, so I reluctantly placed it at my feet on the patio. I felt it safely resting near my feet all evening. My friends and I swapped work, family and relationship war stories, laughing and commiserating as the sun slowly set.

Eventually we realized we needed to work out the bill and I reached for my handbag tucked comfortably at my feet. Resting it on my lap while I rummaged for my wallet, a bit distracted as I tried to remember what dish on the list was mine, I felt something strange on my neck. I reached up and brushed my neck with the back of my hand and then pulled my hair up and away from my back. It was at that time that my friend across the table from me let out a loud squeak, I looked up at her and saw all my friends were also giving me the most repulsed look. One of my friends regained her breath and announced, “That was a cockroach that just ran across your neck!” The rest of my friends started to make their own noises of repulsion and I shouted, “Did I knock it off? Please stop being disgusted and help me….is it still on me?” Finally my one brave friend next to me watched as the little sucker took flight when I had swatted it from my neck and she chased it down and gave it a good squash for me. The very idea of it still gives me the heebie geebies and makes me feel all itchy.

Once the adrenaline stirred up by the cockroach began to wane I realized the bug had gotten on or in my handbag while it sat on the ground at my feet. Well I learned my lesson, the very next day I ordered purse hooks for all of my handbags. This way I can grab any bag and even if I am in a hurry, I won’t ever be left without a way to secure my handbag off the floor and risk another cockroach encounter. My plan is to leave one hook in each bag while they are not in use. I was excited to find the new folding hooks in addition to the new shapes and designs of classic hooks. I had several great new choices and the discounted prices for the multi-packs fit my plan perfectly. Even though my experience was so traumatic, the shopping experience was the perfect way to relax and regain my composure.

The folding hooks are perfect for the smaller evening bags because they fold up and take up about half the space in my hand bag. On evenings when I go out, I often take a much smaller bag than I would for day time. The folding hooks are designed to fit in a smaller bags and come in some very unique designs.

Not all my back up bags are small evening bags, I sometimes like to change up the everyday look too, for those bags I chose from the Crystal Classic Hooks. They looked pretty online, but when I opened my package, I was struck with how stunning they really are in the light. I am so pleased. I will never again be caught without my purse hooks, no matter what bag I grab at the last minute and my friends will be so envious.

Just about every woman manages to tote around some sort of medication. Pain relievers, vitamins and other type of pills all come in their standard bottles and packages. The standard packaging is fine for most people, but for SilverHooks, we like to take it one step further. New pill boxes with dazzling styles and colors will provide a fashionable and functional way to store those pills. Funky designs such as “Furry Zebra” and “Purple Confetti” have three separated sections inside with dividers that will keep each pill in its place.

Some ladies out there have to take medication daily and would rather not carry around all of those bottles. So, SilverHooks is now carrying a 7 Day Dragonfly Pill Box. This silver box has an etched design with a dragonfly on top. Seven separate sections are inside with lables for each day of the week.

Every time I am getting ready to go out, I grab my evening bag and then pull out my enormous everyday wallet. I always struggle to find a secure place in my handbag to put the few items I’ve pulled out; ID, credit cards and cash. SilverHooks’ new Hard Wallets are the perfect solution! This hard case is thicker than a business card case and can easily hold multiple bills, a few credit cards and ID with a spring loaded bar to hold the items in place. The fun designs can coordinate with your outfit or handbag. These Hard Wallets can also be used on their own as a small clutch or hand wallet.
