Needlepoint Handbags on the ‘net

From Cheryl Fall, About.com GuideJuly 6, 2010

I'm in love with needlepoint handbags. I don't own one yet, but I'm smitten nonetheless!

This morning I did a quick search for vintage needlepoint bags, and found several sites that made me absolutely drool!

Heavenly Handbags has a gorgeous assortment of bags from the 1900's - 1940's in perfect condition, as does PurseStreet.com.

The Vintage Bag Lady features a nice selection of retro bags, and some are worked in beaded needlepoint.

But, my absolute favorite (shown) is from Kitty Girl Vintage. I love the simple wildflowers and the pretty colors.

Looks like I'll have to feed my obsession for all things needlepoint and splurge on a handbag (or two) soon!
