vintage finds...

I had an email last week from a sweet gal named Sheridan.  I've never met Sheridan but she had read this post about the Susan Gail purse I scored at an Estate Sale.  Sheridan asked if I had any others (she collects purses) and would love to see more of them or any "vintagy" things I've picked up at sales.

I don't get too many "reader requests".  The other one was to show more of my photographs.  I'm a pleaser.  Always want everyone to be happy, so, for you Sheridan, I will start a Wednesday afternoon feature of "vintage finds".  Wednesday mornings are already reserved for our Pagoda series.  I've also decided to  post 2-3 images on Fridays for those craving more photography.

Here is a great score from about a year ago.  A sassy mid-century kind of modern clutch purse in mint condition.  I think I paid about $5 for it.  There is virtually NO room in it for anything except a little cash and maybe a lipstick, what else do you really need anyway?  I'd love to have a bolt of this fabric to recover a mid-century chair I just got (thanks again mom!).

Now, here is the kind of fun part, lets look inside...

Sassy, no?  If you could carry only 3 things in your purse, what would they be?
