Her Shed – Classic Bedroom Style with a Sustainable Twist
Having a beautiful bed makes such an impact in your home, but I also believe it is part of your wellbeing. Seeing a messy, cluttered bed, can make for a messy, cluttered mind. One of my recommendations is to always make your bed in the morning. It feels like you have said goodbye to the…

Read MoreHouse Tour, Sarah’s Vintage Upcycled Bedroom
Even if you have only one room to play with, you can make it your own. Starting with your bedroom in the home you grow up in, is often where many of us get the first bite of the rearranging bug! I spent many an hour creating zones in my bedroom as a teen. This…
Read MoreVintage Whiting & Davis Gold Metal Mesh Evening Bag with Box & Dust Cover
This is a sought after vintage Whiting & Davis gold mesh evening bag/purse. It can be carried across your wrist with the snake chain and has an expandable gate-top. It’s from 1920’s-1940s. It is made in the USA. It is especially rare to come with original box and dust cover.
It is in excellent condition. I have had it for many years and I cannot remember where I got it from! It has been hanging in my bedroom as a display for all of this time and it is now ready to find its new home. It is not the Glomesh we know (and some of us love!) of the 1970s and 80s, this is a genuine vintage bag from the Art Deco era, for you to take home and enjoy.
Gold tone metal mesh with satin lining and snake chain handle. The mesh is excellent and the coppery interior looks unused. When you open the top, the accordion style neck gate expands to reveal a roomy purse. The gate creates a large opening to place your items inside for the evening. It looks like a crown when it is opened. It’s really very beautiful and hence why I have held onto it, despite not going anywhere special to use it! The gate top locking closure mechanism has an art deco spiral motif.
Measures approximately: 12 cm long, expands to about 11 cm diameter when the gate is opened, 3 cm when closed. It is soft bodied and flexible. Not large enough for modern mobile phones, but would fit your money and cards, lipstick and other needs for a night out.
As a lover of antique bags, this is a real tug to let this one go, but it is time!

Research can of course be undertaken via books and online resources, at libraries, museums and historical sites, through interviews and other media and via…
