Wildlife Snuggery Crochet Hanging Basket

Meet Leilani a Possum in the care of Kinjarling Marsupial Rescue.  When this Snuggery was hung in her enclosure Leilani was quick to snuggle up in it and that is how these crochet hanging baskets came to be called a "Snuggery".

Beaded Clutch Purse

My lovely neighbour, a dear old lady, gave me this satin beaded clutch purse today. I think it is rather lovely and could be repaired.

I asked her how old it was and she told me it was at least 30 years old. I have a fairly good idea of how old it truly is. When do you think it might have been made?

    This is such a lovely beaded clutch, and I'm sure you can repair it. I'm thinking from the 50s?

    Hi Stella, I a no expert, but to me that purse looks a lot older than thirty years old. I would take a guess at the 1920's. I'll be interested to know!

      It would look lovely with those 1920's beaded beauties wouldn't it? It's not 1920's though.

    That is a gorgeous purse! I'd say 1920s or so as well. That kind of thing just reminds me of that era.

    I don't remember my grandmothers having anything like those purses - they were much more functional women.

      Well, I guess this sort of purse would be something you would keep stored away nicely and only pull out on special occassions.
