LOTS of Vintage Goodies

So my sister Kathy (aka LaLa) and I tend to do weekly outings in search of vintage finds and we rarely come home without having found something good!

I now have in my Etsy shop, a lot of these vintage finds.

A few of the recently listed items:

Old U.S. Army copper buttons
A really cool tin from a candy shop in Chicago (1958)
Chilren's playing cards (1956)
Wool plaid blanket
Linens
Handbags
Cookbooks

Oh just so many things - hop over and take a peek :)

Handsewn Wool Handbag Now Available

So I was sitting there watching tv with the hubby the other night, and most of you who know me, know that it's hard for me to NOT be doing something pretty much all the time, so I started by sewing two pieces of wool scraps together and decided it was too long and skinny for a penny rug, so I folded it in half, and immediately thought it would be the perfect size for a little handbag to take when running errands or whatever - you know, those times when you just do NOT want to lug around a big bag?!

It's entirely handsewn, and is made from vintage wool blankets, and has a vintage button used for it's snap closure.

I've got it listed on Ebay, and started the opening bid at a low $9.99. I figure with the way the economy is right now, people aren't even going to LOOK at something that's way out of their budget, so we'll see how well it does on there.

Here's the link - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250301801861&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=015

There are photos on the listing of the front and back of the bag, which both have 3 pennies, photos of the lining, and the snap closure.

Go ahead, take a peek! :)

If it does well, I'll make more....

Blessings,

Janelle
