You know how I love old things and yellow things and beady, shiny things?

I want to give YOU...
an old, yellow, shiny, beady thing!


Everything is Op Shopped, except hair flower, which was a gift from my awesome sister in law.
In celebration of my 200th post
(which I completely forgot so this is actually my 204th post)
I am having a GIVE AWAY!!!

To say thank you to my gorgeous readers I am giving away this divine 1930s/40s handmade purse.


 It has very unusal hardware with a dual opening and a lovely pale yellow striped lining.


 It is crocheted and the beading is worked into the crochet,
which is a bastard of a very old and tricky technique.
It is in beautiful condition.
