Unique And Local: License Plate Purses

License plates are not only used for automobiles. Here in Gulfport a person can wear one as an accessory too.

The people of Gulfport love to recycle, so why not turn something old into something new. Check out this week's "Unique & Local" item for sale at Beach N' Body Boutique.

What formally traveled around on a car is now getting around on your arm. The boutique sells purses made of license plates.

It is a pretty nifty purse too! The entire purse is contrived of recycled parts, and there is plenty of room inside for a person’s belongings.  This craft is unique and local to Gulfport.
