Little Chinatown in the Antiques Mall

I've never been a handbag kind of girl - I much prefer jewelry, shoes, and music, if music counts as an accessory.

I have to admit though that I worried, if only momentarily, that immediately following my departure from NYC I'd develop a compulsive need to buy knock-off handbags.

Much to my delight, the local (and by local, I mean really local, i.e. one-ninth of a mile away) antique mall has an entire row of knock-off Coach and Dulce & Gabanna's. 

Watch out Chinatown, small town Missouri has it's own little Canal Street, hidden away in an unasuming rural antique mall.
