Vintage designer bags

Another reason why I love vintage is that sometimes it's a cost effective way to purchase some of your favorite brands.  I would never want to plunk down the cash for a retail priced version of these bags, partly because I'm cheap, and partly because I couldn't afford it!  I lucked out finding these bags at a mere fraction of their original prices and love the classic shapes.  Also,  it's kind of nice to know that they still hold up and look pretty good 30 years down the road!

vintage Les Bernard earrings

I just got these fun vintage Les Bernard earrings--however they are huge! I was hoping to convert the clip backs to pierced to make them more wearable but they are pretty hefty.  Now I'm thinking I'll use them for another jewelry project but am not quite sure what.  Any suggestions?

Vintage beaded purse

I'm addicted to little vintage beaded purses.  Or maybe I'm addicted to the idea of occasions that will call for a little vintage beaded purse.  This beauty was found in Missouri at my favorite antique store.  It's in excellent condition, all beads present and accounted for, and I adore the art deco-ish arches/scales, similar to my new favorite Pyrex obsession.  Can't wait to take this little beauty out on the town!
