Hello friends! Well another interesting week for news indeed. Turkey foils an attempted military coup (good thing because dad is there!), Trump has a VP pic, and Pokemon GO has gamers stumbling about outside.
Phew, where to start? How about some handbag pics. All of these handbags came from the Salvation Army for $10 or less. I collected them over a period of several months. They were in excellent condition. I wiped them down with a disinfecting wipe and they were good to go!
I dithered whether or not to buy this purse, as I already have two others in this color. But the workmanship was beautiful. - look at the even stitching that pieces the leather pieces together!! So this patchwork lovely came home to join the hoard collection.

I spied this adorable black and white purse on the racks and pounced on it. I love Betsey Johnson!!

Our Salvation Army has random bins of smallish items. That is where I found this snakeskin clutch for $4.99!! If you have time, check all bins and corners. Poke high and low when you thrift. You'll never know what you find, or where you'll find it!

On the topic of reptiles, this eelskin handbag was also $4.99. Whew!!
This lovely travelling set holds all the essentials. Manicure scissors, eye shadow brushes, eye-lash curler...indepensible, and a steal at $3.99!! It will come in handy the next time I have to travel and look glamorous.
Our Salvation Army periodically has silent auctions. I was the winning bidder on this mannequin head. I call her Julie, as she reminds me of Julie Andrews.
happy thrifting ;)
I'm loving handbags nos. 3 and 4 the most, as well as the travelling set, but my jaw really dropped when I saw that amazingly beautiful mannequin head. Well done! xxx
ReplyDeleteLove your haul and the lovely bags :)
ReplyDeleteJulie is gorgeous, what a fab win! xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic haul of handbags and heads (but not heads in a duffel bag, because that was a dumb movie).
ReplyDeleteI can't resist a patchwork bag in any colour. Oxblood is a versatile shade though-I'll bet it gets tonnes of use. Now you need a matching pair of Bass Wejun penny loafers.
@ PolyesterPrincess - Aha! You like snakeskin/eels bags too! I don't mind buying them second hand - the texture is truly lovely. I don't know if I could buy them new - I wrestle with my conscience when it comes to buying things like this.
ReplyDelete@ thanks Tanaya! I really like your handbags too!
@ Vix, you'll think I'm mad. But Julie has been creeping me out. So I think I may have to re-sell her. She is very lovely. I had planned to keep her to display my hats on - but I guess she looks too eerily, human. Funny, eh?
@ Thanks Goody! Ha ha! Heads in a Duffle Bag - I remember the trailer for that movie. Yes, I DO need a pair of Bass Wejuns!! I'll look for some next month - this month's spending money is gone :(
