Pretty Things I Found

These are the reasons I love my job! I found some real beauties yesterday.

Some of these have already been added to the shop. The rest will be listed by the end of the week. The black with sea foam green was sold in record time!







This is my fav! 40's Peignoir set from Juliana

I have a ton of men's ties that are also coming to the shop. There are just way too many to put on here.

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peeks :)

In My Shoes...

Since this is a holiday weekend, I decided to do my post for tomorrow, today. I know I will be entertaining tomorrow and won't have time.




“I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty”
-Imelda Marcos



That's what my mother calls me...Imelda Marcos. She claims I have too many shoes.  Actually, my husband claims the same  thing. He believes it so much, that he said that when I buy shoes, I have to get rid of a pair I already have at home...I was like WHAT? Are you kidding??  That's absurd! 


Anyway, I thought about the shoes I wore in the 80's and thought, let me see if I can find some...sure enough, I did. The flood of memories came over me when I saw them.  I guess it just reminds me of a simpler time for me. Not having to worry about bills, a job, kids, a husband and life in general! 


omg, remember these? I had some EXACTLY like these!

Hmmm, I might have to give up a few pairs of shoes to buy some "new" ones ;)

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend and stay safe!

Hats Off To...

"A girl with a hat is just...SO vogue!"  One of my favorite lines from Sixteen Candles lines.  


Keeping that in mind, I've been on a hat kick lately and since finding the paisley hat from yesterdays post, I decided to see what else is out there in vintage land in terms of hats.  Oh boy, oh boy, look what I found! My fear is that I will be using money from the sales at my Etsy store to satisfy this new hat obsession! lol

Ok, I could go on and on with more pics, so I tried to pick my favs. I'm generally a fedora hat person because it's just fits my face a little better. That being said, I am now in LOVE with cloches! I'm going to have to try one on before I commit to buying one.  

I threw in the top hat because I think it would be awesome with a simple vintage wedding gown. 

I am really digging the first felt wool hat too. Usually my closet is full of shoes. I might have to make room for some new hats!
