adventures

Had a really good time exploring VA with my mom this past weekend. I was in the mood for antique shopping so we headed to Historic Fredricksburg which is near the heart of Mary Washington University. Please disregard the crappy photography. My camera is at its wits end.

During our adventure I stumbled upon this unexpected treasure in an antique store. I've been looking for a leather bookbag for sometime now. I wanted a bag which would last forever, and I've found it!

Its a vintage all weather leather Dooney and Bourke back pack! Beautiful tan leather, deep pockets and brass attachments. Only $85! This is a $200+ bag!!!

Needless to say I'm very Happy. I wore it to classes this morning for the first time and got several positive comments!

Me working a vintage (1960s) mod cap. To bad it was to small, it was really cute.

Heaven on earth. Vintage shopping cellar.

Funny painting.

I love how this painting is displayed.

A purse made out of a book!

Going to try and create one of these for the spring Fashion show. I need to find an Alice in Wonderland book.
