Yesterday I went to the first ever sale by the Toronto Vintage Costume Jewellery Club.There was heaps of vintage and retro bling there, but my eye caught this 1970s carpet bag the moment I walked in the room, and it was love at first site.
I'm showing it to you here sideways so you can see the texture.
Yes, it matches my couch.
I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of one of my fave shops in Toronto, Bead Goes On (see my Top 10 Toronto Thrift Shops below) - funnily enough where I bought my first carpet bag. She and I and her pal went for brunch after and had a great time.I'm thinking of joining this jewellery club, btw. It's only a $30 annual membership and they have monthly events. I'd like to learn how to value all the signed pieces I find at thrift shops!
They don't have a website but you can always email them at tvcjclub@hotmail.com.
Happy Monday!
