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!

Pretty in Paisley

As I sit her and reminisce about the 80's, which I do quite often (I know, I know...those glory days will pass you by!), I think about all the paisley I used to wear.  I remember the shoes, the shirts and yes, even the pants with the paisley print.  I was crazy for paisley! I'm wondering when it will come back, because I'm totally ready :) Hell, why should I wait? I might just bring it back for myself!  While the thought has crossed my mind, I decided to see what I could find on Etsy. Take a look at my fab vintage paisley finds!

I adore all the items, but the ones I would really love to have are the hat and the shirt. Don't think the shirt will fit, so I might have to just get the hat :)

What do y'all think?

My first clothing finds

It's been so busy here in our household. Senior pics, graduation invitations, graduation party invitations, shopping for our trip, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. I say all this because I know I've been slacking with my posts. As soon as I get through  my sons graduation, I should be able to stay on top of this more. :)

I did want to give you a sneak peak at the few items I found and will list on my Etsy shortly.

Owls were a must have in the 70's

Who didn't have mushrooms in their kitchen?

Oh mamma, if this were my size, I would totally rock this!

Another one I wish would fit :)

Hopefully, these will all be listed by the weekend. I've got a full day ahead of me today and tomorrow preparing for Mother's Day.  

Hasta la pasta!
