I found this beaded bag at the thrift store Saturday.
It appears to be very old, and as far as I can tell, it's in excellent condition.
There is no tag identifying it's maker.
In an antique store, this would have been locked in a case with a MUCH higher price than the $1.50 I paid for it.

An interesting little purse...does look like something our grandmas or maybe great grandmas might have carried, doesn't it? Always fun to find treasures!
What a great find! I love the colours in it! I just signed out a book from the library on beading, but I don't think I have the patience for it - I have been working on a pair of beaded slippers for over 2 years now...maybe, just maybe, I will finish it one day.
What a beautiful find!
For years my daughter and I would do the historic home tour in Marshall, Michigan and I remember that one of the homes had a bedroom with these beaded purses hanging all around the room. They were so pretty!
You were fortunate to find such a treasure!!
Oh I want to shop where you shop!!!
THAT is the purse I was looking for to go with my dress for the Lilac Ball! I went with a silver beaded one that I paid $14.99 for. I thought that was a great deal - but now I am re-thinking that since yours was only $1.50!!!! Great find!
