one amazing find
hi everyone! first off i want to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments on my last post. they were so amazing to read and i feel so lucky to have you all a part of my life! so thank for all the awesome comments, i feel like i can do anything, climb any hill and be the badass tattoo artist i want to be!
ok, on to the good stuff! so a very long while ago tom and i were at our favorite thrift store. i was in the purse section. i dont know why because i dont really need anymore purses but there i was. i turned around and spotted a cute vintage looking owl purse and i thought to myself, i love owls, its super cute and heck why the hell not! so i picked it up to inspect the inside, to make sure it wasnt gross inside and to my amazement there was a folded up instructions sheet and an unopened bag of sequins, jewels and beads! i died!!!!! that meant my cute vintage owl purse would become even CUTER!!! score...major score.
i wish i had a before picture, i do, but its on our computer so just pretend for my sake :) it didnt come with fabric glue and i am sure if it did it would have dried out so i had to make a trip to the craft store, after that it was party time, sequins gluing party time. it was so much fun to finish and so easy, the instructions were awesome and i am sooo pleased with my new bag. it makes me so happy whenever i use it and when it isnt in use i hang it so i can see it because, well, it makes me happy!

ReplyDeleteAwesome find! Yah for crafting, this bag is just perfect for you!
ReplyDeleteSo stinking cool!
ReplyDeleteYes, you can definitely use the 5 important things post. I think it's a great idea to spread that around.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Owl bag for the win!

a cute purse and a craft project. double score! When I go thrifting all I find are used books and they never come with sequins.
ReplyDeleteWow that bag is awesome & the crafty personalization you got to add put it over the top!
ReplyDeletePerfect. What a great find. It's beautiful. I have slight envy, but so pleased it makes you smile
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!

How cute, I love vintage craft kits. Everything you need in one place is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic!!! That's a wonderful score!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is a very impressive find! I've become a wee bit obsessed with cross stitch lately, I keep buying patterns from Etsy! That's my current happy crafting joy :)

That is so fun! I have never seen a decorate-it-yourself bag like that. Turned out so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable! And so much more special because of being made beautiful by you! I'm currently picking this superglue out from under my fungernails after a weekend of crafting with my mum! Super times indeed =) x
ReplyDeletethat little owl is sooo darn cute! omg, i'd have him out as artwork for sure. sweet find Cristie!!!! way to go on reaching the crafting finish line, super rad how that all went down. just darling is what. xo ♥
ReplyDeleteThat's so cuuute! Great find!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is so cute, I love that it came with add ons. Definitely one that works as both a functional bag and a decorative piece. They sure don't make em like this anymore.
ReplyDeleteLove the bag, great find! I am just catching up on how you are becoming a tattoo artist and I think that is so fantastic! Good luck, you have all the skill and talent needed and your positivity will take you so far! :)
ReplyDeletethat's amazing! everything is better with sequins!!! <3
ReplyDeleteThat owl is sooo cute - great find! I'm right with you on the "I don't really need another new handbag, but..." haha! I've been hand sewing with felt lately, which is my favorite thing to do and gives me great relaxation and pleasure - I made some felt hearts on a stick for my desk at work (I put them in a mason jar) and a Bride of Frankenstein door hanger for Halloween. I'm going to start working on some snowmen door hangers in hopes of [finally] getting my Etsy shop up and running soon, too!

talk about serendipity, I love it when things like that happen (if only more often), and it's beautiful! xox
