Copy Cat

Yes, that's what my new name is, Copy Cat.  Okay, let me explain.  When I was at the Texas Antique Shows this past Spring, I saw this cute purse that Lauri had and then I remembered that Shelley had done a post a while back about a purse necklace she had created.  So, I remembered a cute coin purse I had, it's actually longer than a coin purse, I'm wondering if maybe it was a cigarette purse and the wheels started turning?  I thought can I copy what Shell did, besides she copied Anthropologie so I can copy her and Lauri.

Read about the post she did about this necklace:


And here is Lauri's cute purse necklace she had at the shows:


See she let me "try it on."  Yes, I must admit I was going to borrow it and hope she would forget she had it, but I quickly changed my mind (smile).  Maybe she'll put my name on it when she's ready to part with it. 

So, here are my versions:

Here's a close up of them:

What do they say... "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".  Hope you girls don't mind that you've inspired me.  Happy Friday!

    Hi sweet T! Thanks for giving me a nod on this one. And thanks to Anthro for the original inspiration. Sounds like we may be seeing this cute idea everywhere!

    Hugs,

    Lord...if you are a "Copy Cat", I must be the "Copy Dog". Not an original idea in my head, so almost everything I do was an idea from someone else. Good news is that I am not creative enough to make stuff, so these coin purses are safe. I heard from Felicia that you were at Canton yesterday and looked for ya...but no luck. We have to coordinate better. Happy 4th of July.

    I LOVE IT! I had seen necklaces similar & loved them for a long time. In fact, back at Christmas I told my friend Tiffany I wanted to do one & she brought one to me at my Christmas Tea. Maybe you have inspired me to try this once I get hubby's medical stuff behind us. Thanks for sharing.

    I love yours. I came across something similar at a local shop, and love wearing them.
    I saw the ones at Anthro... they ran as high as $348.00, I was stunned.
    But they are cute and fun to wear.

    Smiles,
    Becky
