It sounds like a great find. Have fun and be sure to show us what you do with the purses and their parts.

Hi Queen, I have hardware too, that I've gotten off thrift store finds. I have some wooden handles, 1 pair bamboo, 1 flat wooden that I have in store for another bag sometimes. The hardware you can get off them is worth more than the dollar you spent, so I say 'Well done!'. I used 2nd hand hardware on the blue and white,Wavy Top Tote , that my SIL got. Have a great 4th of July, I'm leaving now to celebrate, at the old home place.-Toogie

It's a great way to recycle and make new again .also look for pretty buttons.lace and shiny things you can reuse. Fabric too from clothing.the best part about thrift stores is you never know what you will find.

Going to shrift shops is like going on a treasure hunt. I am glad you found some jewels.

Excellent!

Good finds...way to recycle!

I have a habit of collecting small purses from Op Shops/thrift stores as well. However, I sew them onto a belt in which to hold empty plastic bags, a pickup tool and hand sanitiser for my doggy friends to pick up waste and have something to carry it home or to a bin in :)

I never thought about this maybe I'll have to check a store out..

I recently got a pair of size 14 royal blue leather pants for a $1.00 at
Goodwill.My intentions is to take apart the seams. If I keep losing lbs -I
might just be wearing Them! lol olds/Maureen

Today I got another dollar purse so I can make some key fobs with the vinyl. I checked Joann's online for marine vinyl and there is a 2 yard min. to order and at $20 a yard ($40 for the minimum order) that is way out of my reach and I do not have a store near me so for now I will use recycled purses.
