I was just thinking how I haven't shared with you my newest velvet strawberry purses. Wanna take a peek?
This one is my first with multi-colored berries. EEK! I love all those pretty colors together.
The one below was on ebay for $9.99, and I emailed the seller asking if she would consider changing it to a Buy It Now auction for $25. She did. And that is a velvet strawberry bargain these days.
Love the aqua berries.
And this little garden purse is fun. Found it on etsy last fall.
How adorable is the ear of corn, made out of pearls?
It would be cute to take to the fair, I think!
These make me wish I wasn't toting around sippy cups and books and snacks and diapers and wipes. These are "date night" purses for sure, perfectly sized just for a wallet, lipstick and sunglasses. I do get to use them occasionally, but they usually sit on shelves in my studio, looking pretty and making me happy as I tap away at the keyboard.
Your purses are to die for! (well, perhaps death would be a bit extreme, but you know what I mean). I CANNOT believe you got that aqua one for so little. I would have freaked to find that aqua one! And the one with multiple berries, OH MY. You need a special cabinet and display them in your living room or above the cabinets in your kitchen. Somewhere you can see them often!

You need to show us all of them together...that would be cool. How many is that now?? Corn out of pearls...that is pretty nifty (that would've been perfect for Bella last year). :)

Stunning Andrea, you have the most amazing and unique collections!
Your boys will grow up so fast and those sippy cup, book, snack, diaper and wipe toting days will be gone before you know it!
In the meantime, if you need someone to show off your pretty strawberry purses, you know where to find me!

In all my flea market/antique show travels I have never seen a strawberry basket/purse. They are oh so fabulous! I love the shape of the aqua berry basket.

So berry cute!! I love the veggie bag that is adorable. And I too have MANY bags that just sit and look pretty on my shelves. If only I didn't have to carry everyone else's stuff...Even my husband throws his phone and wallet in my bag:)

What lovely eye candy! I collect the sewing strawberries (the old ones filled with emery). I also like old velvet vegetables and fruit.
I'm drooling over your finds! I'll have to keep a lookout for my own collection:)
