Asian Paper Bird Fans

Even I grow tired of moaning about the heat! I imagine one day we will finally install central heat & air and my body will have complete season confusion. Anyway, a few years back I found two boxes of vintage Asian paper fans. I started to photograph them to sell and as I went to list them, I just couldn't get my wording right or decide to sell them by the box or individually or even really if I wanted to sell them. Here in Florida, having a ready supply of cute fans isn't a bad thing! Anyway, until I make up my mind, here are some photos of said fans.


 

Vintage Japanese Metallic Embroidered Purses

Wednesday, August 22, 2012~

Purchased from VistaChick



Purchased from RNR Vintage & Handmade


   I've got a nice little vintage purse collection going on. These two are some of my favorites. They are both Japanese. The black one is from the late 1950's, the orange one is a little earlier than that. These are not expensive items, less than $50, but they can be difficult to find. Because these are made with silk, they almost always have condition issues. Fortunately the embroidery on these still looks great. I display these rather than use them. I think they're works of art!
