I would D I E for that little pig evening bag! What could you even carry in it? Who cares.
I can't believe the low estimate on it- it gave me a moment of utter joy. That always happens though - I remember, way back in the Toast days, you featured a gorgeous pair of aquarium earrings and the auction estimate was shockingly low, maybe even under $1,000. It lulled me into bidding and then I was crushed when they ultimately sold for $15,000. I still think longingly about them. They would have gone so nicely with my piggy evening bag!
Oh Monica! Your submissions on The Hairpin were some of my favorites. I would always save them for my lunch break so I could really hunker down and enjoy them. I love your combination of passion for interesting pieces and your ability to tell the history of them in such an engrossing way. I only just found you here and I am so grateful to see that your style is a lovely as it ever was. Please, please, feel free to ramble on. Just know we are gobbling up every bit.
