Decorated Vintage Accessories was not part of my seven professional topics. Instead it is currently part of my retirement activities and just for fun. (Retired not expired). Using primarily vintage handbags as my ‘canvas’, I apply vintage pins, earrings, necklaces, buttons, knick knacks, silk flowers, and plastic items for decoration to them.
Two social media sites have displays of these creations. The number of items keeps increasing as I decorate more accessories. At present, close up photos can be seen on:

My Collection has outgrown my ‘wall’ so I need to have other places to hang my accessories. Therefore I am in the process of arranging places to exhibit my work in public venues for others to enjoy. The following are locations and coming dates to view my vintage decorated accessories.
