This Friday I had the amazing experience of attending an Estate Sale literally a 1 minute drive from my house! There are weeks that I drive over an hour to get to sales, so as you can imagine, this was wonderful! As happy as I was that it was close, I was also overjoyed at the contents of the sale and what I left with (which isn't always the case). You'll have to check out my shop in the coming weeks to see the clothing that I bought today, but here are my shoe purchases!
I don't know about you but these puppies make me swoon! They are early 40's-late 50's and somehow all fit me perfectly...which makes it SO hard to let them go! I also found out that my grandmother wore the same size that these shoes are marked (9aaa, in current day US size that's like a very narrow 7.5) Have you ever thrifted, found or bought a vintage item that fit perfectly like it was meant for you? I love situations like that, they fully support my belief that every vintage item has a right person out there somewhere. That when the person finds the item, it's like a perfect match. -^_^- I think I shall name this my Girl Meets Dress theory (or Boy Meets Jacket?).
Another thing I've really been wanting to update on is my Springtime Tea Party! It's happening the first week in April (so soon!) so I'd better be figuring stuff out! First off, here is the invitation that I designed! Unfortunately, I ended up not sending paper invites and opting for a Facebook event instead. Love/hate relationship w/ technology right here!
I also have been collecting vintage tea cups and saucers that I'll take pictures of soon! If you're reading out there, I hope you have a great weekend and are enjoying Spring! Till next time kiddos. -^_^-
The shoes match the colour scheme of your blog, perfectly. I wish I could find more nice vintage stuff. Thanks for posting the photos and feel free to drop by me too when you have time.
