When I was at the flea market
last week I found these really
cool old leather camera bags ~
I am loving the look of leather
and lace right now so wanted to
embellish them with some vintage
lace ~
I think the two larger ones would
work perfect as purses and the little
one is just cute!
This is what they looked like
when I bought them ~
I can tell I will be on the
hunt for old leather bags more often now :)

Lori I love what you did with that old leather purse! I have a Fossil that is somewhat similar and would love to doll her up with a doily or 2! Can I ask how you attached the doily to the purse? I am thinking the leather is so tough I am not sure I would be able to hand stitch it in place.
bee blessed

That is so beautiful.
Have a nice weekend

Wowza. Great find.
What a transformation by just adding the lace! It really pops against that gorgeous weathered leather... so pretty!
What a good idea, Lori. I really like that one in the first photo.
Love the leather and lace look! I do appreciate the vintage look. Thanks for sharing. I am a new follower of your lovely blog.
Me too after seeing what can be done to make them beautiful Lori. I have been looking for a great bag to hold my camera and I think it would be fun to use a vintage one. Don't you just love the look of worn leather? That is a patina that can only come from years of use.
I love these!
hugs from here...
Oooh!Love these!
Besos
Oh my goodness...those are fantastic...I just love the light brown bag. You have the best ideas!
Unbelievable. You have a wonderful flair and gift to make things work. Love the bags!!
These are just beautiful! Did you paint them, or did you just polish them up? Beautiful transformation.
