My Craft Blast From the Past

I was cleaning out my closet and I found a bag of some of the old purses I made. I used to have a shop on Ebay for them, but never liked them enough to keep making them. I can't actually sew, I just make it up as I go along. I remember cutting out cardboard shapes, because I don't know how to read sewing patterns. I sold them with a starting bid of $15. I had one of my Johnny Depp Pirate purses have a bid war over it, and sell for over $50. I haven't made a purse in over five years, but I might just start again.....

My friend Sara and my little sister Nikki were always down to model for me.

 I remember the Red dice Marilyn Monroe purse- It was sold to this guy who was the biggest fan I had ever seen, he literally had thousands of Marilyn items. Here's the photo he sent me after he received it....

 

This was probably my favorite. I had the biggest addiction to Marilyn Monroe when I was younger. The second picture is actually the inside pocket.

Wine Charms, and More Wine Charms....

I changed my shop around a bit, and now I only stock wine charm sets. I'm done with necklace charms and picture clips- I adored making cake toppers, but I feel like I have to charge too much just to make a profit.




There are so many possibilities with wine charms, and I love using them.

Prices for wine charm sets are fixed at a store wide equal level. Flat price + free shipping.  Each charm can take anywhere from ten minutes, to two hours to create. Sets include five to eight charms, all affectionately constructed with my own two hands.

A Star Wars set is in the works, and so much more.....
