Ebay inspiration

I love ebay. But sometimes I buy things, and I think....what was I thinking? Other times (as with this Arts and Crafts-style vintage embroidered handbag) I think...why didn't I try harder to win it? Sigh. Regardless, I print out lots of photos of merchandise to use for inspiration in sewing designs, etc. This bag is lovely, and it sold for a song. The silver in it isn't thread, it's metallic beads. Something about it really moves me.
