I also found a lovely navy blue purse circa 1980-something for $1.90. It was embellished with a shiny gold shell, which I ripped off as soon as I got it home. I pulled out a couple buckets form my massive vintage button collection and employed my husband to decorate my new found accessory. He did a swell job, eh? I glued them on; hand sewing is evil. I hope they stick.

what $1.90 can get you
Oh, joy! I hit the jackpot today at one of my favorite thrift stores. I found a plethora of vintage fabrics and materials to upcycle; they are currently in the washing machine being cleansed of that familiar thrift store scent.
