Topic : Vintage Purses

So, I have these cousins, right?

I love 'em to bits, but sometimes, to me at least, they seem kinda silly.

See, they have this tendency to make a big to-do about designer labels...

Not so much with clothing, but with accessories. Purses and wallets, especially.

Dooney & Bourke, Coach, Louis Vuitton, etc.

Have you ever looked at the prices on these things?
300 and 400 dollars... some times more. Incredible.

((I'd take a handmade unique item from etsy, any day!))

BUT, all craziness aside, my cousins, unfortunately, are not people with the ability to just throw money around. 3 and 400 dollars for a purse is a bit steep.

So, I ventured a guess that it would be possible to find vintage designer label purses and wallets on etsy.

And lo and behold, I was right. ((I'm awesome... just ask me, I'll tell ya.))

((And the price tags are so much nicer than the ones you find on the new items in stores.))

So, here, a post of my research. Just for those cousins of mine...

Topic : Toy Jewelry (?)

So I am having a hard time classifying a topic for this post. Basically, I did a couple of different searches to try to find items that I thought fit what I was going for.

See, the idea behind this whole post came to me as I was browsing some of the online shops that I frequent. I came across this really cool lego jewelry that someone had thought up... only, the price tag was a might out of my grasp. They were asking anywhere from 2 to 3 hundred dollars for some of these pieces. (Mind you, they had added diamonds and such to some of these pieces so the price tag, though steep, made a bit of sense...) But, I got to wondering... are there shops on etsy that would satisfy my nostalgia craving of having old toys and games that I used to play with turned into awesomeness of awesome jewelry? And there was... many different sellers take old toys and games and turn them into the cutest jewelry pieces imaginable. I even found more reasonably priced versions of the lego jewelry that I was so fond of... So here they are...

My nostagia/toy/jewelry items for this post. (anyone with a better title for this post should speak up and help a sister out, here... yeah? ♥)
