My heart skipped a beat when I saw these. I had just walked in the door and the heavens opened and sunbeams were shining and there they were...all pretty, and white, and suede, and Bass, and MY SIZE! They were $3, and look like they have never been worn.
Might have to get some ribbon shoe-strings...they really deserve something better. Any ideas?
I have one of these already, but couldn't pass it up. It's a great book with tons of ideas. I will add it to my shop soon (I hope).
There was an older couple standing near this and I asked the man if he was getting it. He kind of laughed and shook his head no. It's an old tackle box or tool box. Can you see the ruler on top? It's metal and...has all those great compartments.
We'll call it the original "Caboodle". I paid $2 for it.
And finally, this vintage Liz Claiborne one piece. It's way too short for me, but I think it's super cute. It will definitely be in the shop soon. Sorry about the horrible pictures. My camera is missing (my 2 year old is suspect) so my phone has to do. At least the last one fuzzied out my tired no makeup face, and the fact that this one piece is way too small for me.
Don't forget to check out the "I like to party" page to see where it's at this week. I am going to try to get it cleaned up and organized better soon...I promise!
The shoes are amazing!! I totally missed nataional thriftshop today (I know shame on me) but glad you managed to get a few minutes of thrifting into your day!

thanks guys. I am still in awe over those shoes!
ReplyDeleteGASP! Those shoes. $3? Whadda steal! If they belonged to me, I would try suede or 1/4" grosgrain ribbon laces in a bright or pastel color. I'm having total thrift envy... Do show us what you end up doing! Would love to see the results.

Oh my, I love those shoes! I have been looking for some oxfords for so long and haven't been successful even in retail. Lucky you to have found those wonderful shoes!!!!! I am from Wichita, and I have never seen any good shoes in the thrift stores.
