Another accessory that I love are handbags. I have to admit that my purse collection is starting to rival that of my jewelry collections, so when I saw these fun handbags from Timmy Woods, I thought, "How clever!" He has combined the craftsmanship of jewelry with that of handbags.

For example, look how he's included beads on the strap of this purse, and then adorned the front flap with a palm tree embellishment, sort of like adding a special pin to a blazer's lapel.

Then there's this sparkling crystal bag of a mermaid. You so won't be missed with this dangling from your shoulder.



This bag is loaded with crystals as well plus a wonderful beaded strap that has the look of a necklace.
