I love estate sales but sometimes you really have to dig. And sometimes you have to go into kind of dark and creepy basements to find the best stuff. Usually the things that I think are awesome are the things that the people running them think are junk. I'm always looking for stuff that I can take apart and make into new things. I found this awesome sterling silver spoon ring for 50 cents, after which I was in a trendy shop and saw them for $18.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi21JHUIINjaY6vVQfKjtBXeX-Sz52W4mOCUSGZdMBc5b94O4IcwLCzy5jio1x8-rekVeiQ5BHS-PWRQ-poxyoFQC9SJPmp5xyOlsMpq62_A6BXpxkJ_-_Lmz3aXIgR_t4k_k09v44IAxxA/s1600/DSC_7168.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472642671622635810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi21JHUIINjaY6vVQfKjtBXeX-Sz52W4mOCUSGZdMBc5b94O4IcwLCzy5jio1x8-rekVeiQ5BHS-PWRQ-poxyoFQC9SJPmp5xyOlsMpq62_A6BXpxkJ_-_Lmz3aXIgR_t4k_k09v44IAxxA/s400/DSC_7168.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 356px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> A friend of mine picked this leather purse up for me for $3.

It All Started With A Purse and an Idea

I am hoping to offer them on my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">etsy</span> shop--you mail me your purse and I "tattoo" it and mail it back.
