Interesting finds...

Spent a couple hours thrifting yesterday and found some items that made me stop and look for a long, long time. None of them were particularly attractive but each item had been made with so much time and love you had to appreciate them.



































This purse was made entirely out of shopping bags. Someone took the time to knot them all together and the craftsmanship was pretty meticulous. The lining was hot glued in.























It took me a while to figure out what this was. Baby hanger? Cat hammock? I'm pretty sure it was intended for a large plant. (My mom used to make these back in the day...) Why these macrame monstrosities became a fad is beyond me, although there hasn't been a fad that involved people actually making things since duct tape wallets were popular. Has the average person lost their skill for craft?























And this just made me really happy. This is the only item I actually purchased because for $1, it was just too cute to pass up.
