Vintage Purses from Karen's Whimsy





These adorable Vintage Purses are from the 1913 issue of Ladies' Home Journal. They were from an article called "Christmas Gifts for Every Purse: The Gift from Twenty-Five Cents to a Dollar," selected by Arline Raeburn with drawings by M.E. Musselman. You could buy the patterns for these purses for "fifteen cents, post-free." I hope you'll have fun with these pictures of Vintage Purses. Enjoy!
