How can I make this get some attention?

Hi Paula!

I just have a couple of observations, neither of which are particularly revolutionary, 'cos your listing does look lovely, and the gallery pic is clear too.

1) on my weakly sputtering 'Goth monitor' (not very bright laptop screen), the green font, though lovely (I like that shade) is a tad tricky to read easily. I know it's boring, but a darker font just jumps out better

2) I just had a thought that I wonder whether your title is just too specific. You might get Golden Gate fans, but how many purse fanatics are looking specifically to complete their 'bridges' set? Actually, come to think of it, 'Hand Painted' should bring them in, but I wonder whether some other general keyword would get the looks. Is 'Americana' right? 'Tourism'? 'Souvenir'? Don't know...
Don't know if that will help any, it's just what occurred to me!

If you are the one who painted the bridge, I think it is cool. I would put OOAK in the title too. I would be tempted to crosslist in the regular handbag category also..or maybe even move it there entirely... it may get a look from someone who is looking for an interesting evening bag and is not necessarily into vintage. Personally, as a collector, I may not be as interested as the handbag was altered, but as a handbag carrier I would be VERY interested as it is unique. (and those two people can be one and the same person! They would just be looking in different categories based on what they are looking for!)

Its just like what we were talking about a long time ago....(well not this...but a similar idea..) say you have a 50s circle skirt and it gets stained...so Cyndi Lauper in the 80s comes along and attaches a purple and hot pink crinoline under it and adds a big poufy ruffled edge and bows and sparkles to it. Now, would you be looking for that in the 50s vintage category or would this now be totally 80s (which it now is) despite the fact that it started out very 50s : ) ...
