I don't think I've posted photos of my current collection in some time, and now that the last few purchases/trades/zaps have helped me complete my first big pin project, I figured it was time to share. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to have knickknacks around unless they serve some sort of purpose, so when I first got into pin trading this year, I decided I needed a way to take my pins with me. I purchased a secondhand handbag off of eBay and narrowed my focus to Snow White (princess only) pins, and this was born:
I use locking pin backs (not the ones that use the wrench; the other kind) to keep the pins from falling out, so I feel pretty safe taking my bag out in public without having to worry that they'll vanish.
Right now, I only take this purse out with me to the Disney parks and pin meets. I'm very protective of it! My only regret has been taking it on Splash Mountain when I visited WDW, and I nearly had a heart attack after sitting in the front of the log and trying not to get it wet. Although I've filled up this bag with pins (and rather quickly!), I'm planning other projects for future Snow White and park pins that come my way, and will post updates as those projects get completed.
Shoutout to timeerkat, amypins, MerlinEmrys, jaac98, Megfan, docfish2u, and anyone else I may be forgetting for all of the awesome sales, trades, and zaps! This community is beyond wonderful and I love being part of it.
