	Lord & Taylor Lavishly Beaded Silk Clutch Purse This clutch purse is made of a latté-colored & rose silk. The top portion is heavily embellished with a floral / leaf beading, in rust, gold & clear beads, with some sequins. The design & workmanship are devine. There is a small pocket inside, onto which is stiched the Lord & Taylor label. Another tag declares, "Made in India." Lined in light-brown satin to match the silk, it fastens closed with a magnetic snap. Measures 8.75" across the top edge, and 10.75" across the bottom. In excellent condition with no flaws noted. $65
	King's Key Finder This clever purse accessory helps keep your keys from getting lost inside your bag. Unused, the tag is still attached. The clip is engraved with a floral design. The top features a bright green faux stone (plastic, I think), surrounded by a pretty goldtone & silvertone filigree. Inside the tag is an illustration of the key finder in use, and the explanation, "Find your keys quickly! Just clip to pocket of your purse. Your keys cannot be lost in the bottom of your handbag. Designed with spring to hold securely, yet easily removed for use by lifting out. With car keys while driving, clasp will hold addresses and reminder notes in sight." Tag shows a bit of staining. Key finder is in excellent, unused condition. Approximately 2.5" inches long. $12 ON HOLD
	Faux Cowhide Purse / Case with Belt Loops This fabulous little case is made of imitation cowhide on canvas, with black stitching and is edged with black vinyl. There are 2 faux leather loops on the back, each fastened with a brass rivet, so that you can hang it on your belt. The zipper is metal. The inside is unlined except for a fuschia felt lining on the side with the belt loops (which gives the rivets added stability). The "fur" is a light tan, very natural. Measures 5.5" wide, by 3.75" tall, by 1.75" deep. Perfect for your ID / cards, iPod, makeup & a small brush or comb. Age unknown, but likely 50s or early 60s. Perfect for nights out dancing - rockabilly, anyone? Or, use anywhere you want to travel light & keep your hands free. $12.
	1970s Mushroom Key Case Oh, this is sooo '70s! This key case is the color of caramel and has appliques of mushrooms & butterflies applied to the cover, in bright orange, yellow & green. Inside are hooks for 6 keys, plus a little pocket for your ID & cards & a few bills. In excellent condition, it appears unused. There is a staple that held (I think) the original tag which is through the top of the card pocket. You can remove it. No other flaws. Closed, it measures 2.5" wide, by 3.5" tall, and it's about 3/8" inch thick. $8.
