Evening Bag Collection
As I go through my collection of evening bags and trying to figure out which bag to list first in my etsy shop I am just reminiscing of where and when I purchased them.
This first one was one of my favorites, it doesn't have a stone missing, I always wanted to carry it someplace.Not to the grocery store or work, just dreaming of going to an opera or formal event at our states capital to have diner with the Governor. (dreaming you realize ?).
These are in a glass basket that belonged to my Grandmothers sister My Aunt Ollie
This green velvet one has worn spots but I fell in love with the jade beads and marcasites across the top closure . It feels so good to the touch
I don't think the stones are spelled correct, however spell check isn't picking it up , Oh Well you know what I mean. Don't you?
This little metal mesh bag I purchased with the idea of making an altered art necklace out of it . I laid a vintage tube of lipstick beside it to show you how small it is . Have you seen where they are taking the small leather coin purses and making altered necklaces out of them? All the gals who sell at the large flea markets have them.
Just love them

Good Morning to you, What a gorgeous selection of bags, I could not choose a favourite as I love all three. I have a couple of beaded bags which I bought in the sixties which I have kept wrapped in paper, as I have not used them for years, but I think I will do as you have done, display them, as they should be seen and enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.

ReplyDeleteHello! Great collection of evening bags! So happy you stopped by my blog...thank you for your sweet comment. I can't take credit for the "tie the knot" card idea. I saw it some time ago. I have no idea where. For whatever reason, I remembered it (yet, I can't tell you what I had for breakfast today...). I'm enjoying checking out your blog. Love your red transferware!

I have seen those necklaces. So cute. I have several leather coin purses that belonged to my grandpa. I always say I'm going to make one, but haven't yet. You gave a gorgeous collection. That green velvet is so pretty. And I kinda like the way it's worn. It gives it that wonderful vintage charm!
