Vintage Purses and suitcases

These excellent Fournier suitcases were in mint condition  SOLD This purse I sold too cheap, only $10.00 and I am kicking myself in the but for this    These are patent leather purses that I bought at an estate sale. All these purses were in mint condition and very well maintained. They were probably from the 60's into the 70's.  This is a Dooney and Bourke SOLD  My daughter Sam took this blue purse. It is coming back in style and very sturdy for her needs  This is a Danier leather purse from another source.

Stained glass that I scored at a garage sale

I came across these 2 stained glass pieces on the weekend at a garage sale for $2.00. I know I have no where to put them, but I just could not resist them. Each piece has some slight damage on small sections of the glass but this can be repaired. Instead of just soldering some hooks and hanging them in the window with chain, I am going to look for some old windows to put them in and then add some thicker chain and hang them in my diningroom. This will sit in the project pile for a bit but it will be a good project in the fall or winter when there is nothing else to do outdoors.

2 wonderful leather purses for $1.00 each Sterling silver braclet with stones .50 cents....had to have the clasp redone for $25.00 but well worth it. 1 carved Indian head $1.00 will have this piece varnished and give to my sister for her up coming birthday 1 antique mirror $15.00....what a steal. Now I just need to figure out where it will go since I am supposed to try to go minimalistic.....as if! 1 vintage case .....not sure where to put it yet...was thrown in with the purchase of the mirror. 1 vintage green portable radio....couldn't resist it because it reminded me of one I had growing up. It actually didn't work when I looked at it, so I asked the woman selling it if I was able to open it up and fix it would she give it to me for free...she didn't think it was funny, so I opened it up and did manage to fix the volume button that came loose. She brought the price down from $4.00 to $1.00.....gotta laugh sometimes.
