Random Pics of Vegas

It's been a while, but I present Random Pics of the Las Vegas Art District-Daytime Edition. Enjoy:

Way creepier in person!

My handsome husband.

Really cool mural.

These Blues Brothers bobble heads were enormous!

Massive chairs fit for royalty. Seriously, they were as large as Renaissance thrones.

Introducing the Burse

My newest obsession is the Burse. Book + Purse= Burse.

I first discovered this awesome accessory at my first Las Vegas First Friday event. There was a booth set up that had a whole bunch of book purses on display. Of course, I had to buy one! It only took me about 20 minutes to decide on a title. =)

These hardcover books are turned into purses through matching fabric choices making up the sides and lining and adorable handles and clasps added. As an added bonus, the book is rebound with cloth covers, so you still get to enjoy the book you purchased! 

There are a variety of titles to choose from or you can request a custom title (or provide your own). The downside is the purses are only as big as the book. A small book means a small purse. But this completely unique accessory is worth giving up the space. I used mine today and got 5 compliments just while I was at the salon and grocery store!

There's definitely a book and a look for every type of personality. Mundane titles and plain fabrics for the "safe" bookworms. And more risqué choices for the inner Vegas sinner:

Yes, this is an Alcoholics Anonymous book with a built in flask holder on the backside and includes a vintage inspired flask. And when you're done sinning you can sit down with the Good Book:

The Holy Bible never looked so good. And of course, you receive the book re-bound in matching materials. 

The typical Burse runs from $20-$45 depending on the size and cost of the book. I love this idea so much, I immediately scanned my bookshelf when I got home for my next purse.

My Sweetheart's Sweet Art Deux

Part Deux features more Tek Sapport faves...

No, he didn't draw the Google background. His art is superimposed to complete the illustrated social commentary on the general public's lack of knowledge regarding the Address Bar.

My Sweetheart's Sweet Art

These are just a few of my husband's original drawings. Some are good, some are weird, and some are doodles that took on a life of their own. I just love how creative my husband can be with his art!

Let me know what you think! Which one is your favorite? He's always looking for new inspirations-any requests?
