My nephew is getting married soon and I wanted to surprise Lily with a little bag to carry at the wedding. Since she was just a couple of years old, she has always loved purses. I found an adorable little metal bag that I took home to her. I didn't even wrap it....it wasn't that kind of little gift. It would be an understatement to say that she flipped for it. I decided I had better clean it up a little bit so she didn't get her dress dirty when she carried it. You ready....that's when I saw the silver stamp and the fact that it is signed and dated.....you ready....1918! I'm not telling you what I paid for it....I kind of prefer it that you like me. Tell me, have you ever found a little gift that turned into an amazing find...the kind you usually only hear others tell tales about?

Beautiful!! The detail in the purse is amazing. This is one of those occasions that are just meant to be. Hmmm.... I guess with the date of 1918 we won't be seeing another in your store? smile... A very special gift! Enjoy your day! xoxo
PS For the record, Jae I would like you no matter how much or little you paid for the purse.
