I actually have two of these available so feel free to get both and shipping on the second is absolutely free!

This is a very versatile piece, could be worn to a dinner party with a slinky dress or to a concert in a floaty hippy skirt... the kind of ring any girl/lady/hippy chick needs :)

Soooo much fun!!

This is a Disney vintage 1978 Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse 50th Anniversary souvenir handbag, new with the cardboard and price tag still inside from "Nichols" with a price of 1.97 dollars.
It is 6 1/4 inches in diameter, round, and drum shaped; 1 and 3/4 inches thick. The strap is knotted as it was when it was sold.



This purse is as it was when it was purchased, perfect with just a little dust that can be easily wiped off.

This collector's item has been stored in a dark closet since it was bought ...I searched online can't find another like it.

Vintage Owl Pendant Steampunk Pearl Eyes Move when you pull Chain

Vintage goldtone metal owl is mounted on a nice warm brown wood pendant of a generous 2 1/2 inches tall by 1 1/2 wide.

It's a really cool steampunk-y style in that the eyes are articulated and they are mechanical... inside the owl they are attached to a chain that runs down behind his tail and when you pull on them, the eyes raise and look right at you!

I love steampunk stuff, but get frustrated that they normally aren't as mechanical as they look. This is really cool!
