Vintage Find

So... last Saturday, my mom and I were shopping in Historic Glendale and of course we had to stop into one of my favorite shops, Pink House Treasures. I love looking at all the local artist finds (it's like a in-person etsy).
I saw this purse laying there all alone on the shelf, no other purses looked anything like it. It was so different and unique, I gasped as I grabbed it to check the price. $9.00 I think I yelled out loud the price to my mom in amazement... explaining to her that I am in love and this was a 'no-duh' purchase.

Later that night, looking at the detail and craftsmanship of this bag, I searched the interior for a label of whoever designed and crafted this bag. As I open up the zipped pocket inside... I was amazed and shocked and super-excited to find this...

251 Rupees (thats Indian Money). I was stoked! I was elated! It was like finding buried treasure!! Of course, I spent the rest of the night telling everyone about my lucky find.

Monday morning, I dashed into work... I had to find a Rupees to Dollar conversion online. I mean 251 Rupees... I could be holding onto $5,000 and not even know it. As I put in the right amount of Rupees I waited patiently for the outcome (as if I were sitting in front of a slot machine at the casino)... it came up... $5.17

Yes, my big treasure! Lol. So, it paid for half the purse... but it was the coolest thing that had happened to me yet! :-)
