I do have to admit, they are whimsical and entertaining. One of my sons dropped by the other day, while I was finishing the rocks on a birdhouse I was building. As he was talking I noticed he was staring at my project. Then, he stopped in the middle of his sentence and said, "There's a tiny wind chime on that birdhouse." (I didn't think he, being a guy, would notice it.) But, he did, right away. Of course, he just had to go over to it and jiggle with it. 

Isn't it funny what will attract humans? Miniatures of almost anything, immediately spark interest. The tiny shinny chimes draw the birds when fluttering in the wind. They will be entertained by it and provide hours of entertainment for us, too, as we watch the birds play with these tiny wind chimes, dangling from their birdhouse porch. I did a Google search yesterday to see if anyone else thought of this silly idea. Type in "Tiny Birdhouse Wind Chime." It came up in #1 spot. But, all the others in that search (I think I went through about the first 8 pages or so,) were actual small wind chimes of birdhouses, not wind chimes FOR birdhouses. So, I think I have an original, here. If you know of anyone else that has tiny wind chimes for birdhouses, let me know. Also, I would appreciate a few visits at my eBay store. You really should see these silly things. They are definately UNIQUE.   Thanks, all - JSpinner

I am curious of how many people desire to have mesh bags, or chain mail coin purses. I think there is a small market out there of people who like these bags, and would use them, if they were available. I have a lot of fun making these, too. Though, they are very time consuming, the end results are stunning and very rewarding, especially when I can embelish them with all the gems and pearls I desire. 

I think most of the real vintage ones are priceless, but they are also very fragile. The links can become rusted or open enough to detach. Then you lose links and the bag must be repaired. I like to use split rings, which are almost impossible to break, even with heavy coins loaded in the bags.  

Let me know if anyone else likes these vintage style bags and tell me what you'd like to see, as I plan to design more of these rare style mesh bags to fit a unique market that may be out there ... somewhere.

Thanks and have some fun, today!
