My Swap Item: Vintage Beaded Handbag

This post is all about what I would like to swap this week at Drop It or Swap It. If you have been meaning to join in the new link up but haven’t yet, I encourage you to jump in this week! You can read more about how it works here.

Up for swap is this cute vintage beaded handbag.

The white color makes it a good summertime choice.

It’s a little bit of a fixer though. The clasp closes but it’s not a really tight hold. I think it might have to do with the hinges on the sides of the bag, not sure though. I think you could just add some velcro inside to ensure it stays closed.

Okay so if you have something you want to swap for this vintage handbag, leave me a comment! The swap starts tonight at 7PM central and runs through Monday night at 9 PM. See you at the swap!

Up for Swap: Red Chenille Heart Pillows

Okay ladies (and gents?) this post is all about what I would like to swap this week at Drop It or Swap It. If you have been meaning to join in the new link up but haven’t yet, I encourage you to jump in this week! You can read more about how it works here.

Up for swap is a set of two heart pillows, sewn from an old tattered red chenille bedspread.

The below pic shows the other sides.

heart_pillows2

The larger pillow is 10″ x 8″ and the smaller pillow is 6″ x 4″. Why would I want to get rid of these little cuties you may wonder. Well, I have made and sold several of them, and still have half a bedspread left to make myself some if I decide to. The pictures show the red to be a little more vibrant, and in reality I think they’re a bit more of a faded red, like you see in the above photo, on the right side of the small heart. So if you have something you want to swap for these pillows, leave me a comment! so sorry, they have been swapped!

Drop It or Swap It starts tonight at 7PM central and runs through Monday night at 9 PM. See you at the swap!

Purging My Jewelry Drawer ~ Drop It or Swap It

There’s still PLENTY of time to get in on this week’s Drop It or Swap It link up, it runs through Monday night. So I decided to add one more thing that I want to swap. I have been purging my jewelry and am working up to putting a new, organized system of storage and display in my closet area. So here are 2 necklaces and 2 bracelets that should belong to someone else.

The multi-strand multi-color beads are plastic. The bracelets are stone chips and are the stretch type. Leave me a comment if you are interested in swapping! Come on ladies! As my new friend and fellow swapper Tina @ What We Keep said, I want to play!
