One of the maxims of doing business with collectibles is collect what you like.When you like something, you'll pay attention to details and find out more about it so you'll more easily become a bit of an expert.
And if the collectible item doesn't sell, you can easily enjoy it.
One of the things I like to collect is purses; unusual and whimsical ones, like this vintage 1970s wood ladybug purse.
These were made from a kit and have a small red floral print as an inside liner.
This purse also has the original maker's name signed inside next to the little oval mirror.
I remember when these purses were popular - and now this charming, vintage purse is headed to New York as an anniversary gift, purchased by a customer only a few miles from where I grew up in Brazil.Collectibles are great personalized gift ideas for special occasions like birthdays, weddings, Mother's Day and anniversaries.
The wood ladybug purse has been gift-wrapped; has a bottle of (soap) bubbly, custom gift card and a little ladybug for travelling company.
I know it will have a good new home but I still have a little tug at this point. No one mentioned it's still a little sad to see my charming little ladybug collectible purse leave!
Feliz Aniversario!
