Like A Kid Again

Hi all!

I love a good vintage quilted handbag.  I've had one since about 2008 and I loved it, but alas, it's been falling apart.  Lately I've been looking for a replacement bag and finally found one at the Salvation Army on 281 and Stone Oak for a whopping $2!

This new handbag is a little big larger, has a gold capped tassel, and has a side pocket on the back of the bag.  Just like my original quilted handbag I couldn't leave this one untouched.  As pretty as it was the way I purchased it the purse needed a little pizazz.  Cue my mini-bedazzler!

I feel like a kid again!

This little baby can help take small accessories/accents to a new level.  If you follow my snapchat (CynthiaEdee) I put a few pictures of my bedazzling process on my story.  As you can see from the photo it makes a pretty impactful difference on the look and style of my handbag.

New!

This was my original vintage quilted purse.  As you can see the studs were falling off left and right. 

Just another example of the potential your local Salvation Army/thrift store can have.  The key to is to have an open mind and be able to see past the stigma of "thrifting."
