As you all know, the
Cranky Queen must have a purse to carry her
royal fortune in , & placing it in her pocket would just not be
"queen~like"...So, what is the queen to do? Make one...stashing it close to her bosom where no lady or gent would dare think to look or by no means...touch!
I have been seeing all of this amazing
re-purposed jewelry on blogs, in antique shops & at antique show/markets. I decided to re-create a vintage coin purse necklace using my own twist on the style!
I searched & searched for these adorable vintage change purses. They are getting very hard to find. I found two...(one black fabric & this brown leather one pictured above (it is a double change coin holder!)
As you can see, the
Cranky Queen had not placed any of her
royal coinage in the purse! She must
hide some things from
Cranky King!
I found a suitable chain that I salvaged from one of my junkin' sprees.
I even attached a vintage clasp taken from a less attractive chain necklace.
I hand sewed vintage gold buttons on the front of the purse. My fingers were sore after doing that task & then attached an old key for some dangle!
Don't you just love it! A purse fit for a Queen...even a Cranky one~
My inspiration came from these seen at the CL Market.
You will love her bling!
Oh, I cannot forget my blog gal pal, Nancy, AKA
Sassy Trash with her wonderful change purse necklaces.
I hope you liked my quick "toot" on the coin purse necklace. I plan on making another one using the black purse very soon...Just remember,
"a gals gotta have a place for her stash!"
STAY CALM & RE-PURPOSE!
