Antique Show - Tote Supply Hunting

Today I attended a local Antique and Vintage Show to find some dog-themed items I could use for the new totes I'll be making for spring and summer. I think I struck a vintage dog bonanza. I found some vintage buttons, buckles, pins, dog themed postcards and a fantastic dog hankie. I was really happy to find lots of the little plastic dog charms that, I believe, used to come as Cracker Jack prizes. All in all, I found some usual items, some pretty good prices and can't wait to get started to work coming up with designs to use my new items.

Hey, Love your bags.
I make purses out of placemats! Never found a dog one, but I have one that I made with dog buttons!
I love that you are using this to bring attention and educate the world about lethal whites. I love your Annie (I am a little bias to the name) I have a Aussie Mix who is deaf. I am also going to get working on my doggy bandanas and use them to educate people too!!!
Drop me an email, I would like to "talk" with you about something else.
Annie, MacKenzie and Mikka too

Annie: How can I email you? When I click on your name, I don't get an email link.

Hi
I just stumbled upon your site. I too own 2 lethal whites, and I read the amazing aussie site all the time. And I adore vintage and re-sale/collect too. So awesome to find someone with great similarities!!!
