Erin and I went digging at an estate sale yesterday and came home with some treasures. Among them, some beautiful 1940's shoes that had been hidden away in a drawer for 60 or so years. I'm absolutely fascinated by the style and the shapes. What I would do to have these in my size (they are all 6 1/2)
The owner was definitely a woman after my own heart. Besides saving what seemed to be every piece of clothing she had ever owned, we share a bad habit. When switching purses she simply grabbed what she needed out of it at that exact moment and left the rest. Just like I do. Its odd to be going through someone else's purses full receipts and kleenex when I have enough of my own at home.
Also, I inhaled so much "age" in the apartment that I'm still not breathing quite right. I'm convinced that what I need is a bit of medicinal tequila, perhaps with some salt and lime. :) Maybe after the kid goes to bed.
wowee, what a treasure trove. That first pair is especially swoon-worthy!! Hope the medicinal tequila does the trick!!
ReplyDeleteomg Im a 6 and 1/2 I would kill for those!
ReplyDeleteThe first pair is my favorite too!
ReplyDeleteArt*Deco*Dame - Perhaps we can work something out. I have to clean them up and assess their condition.
Ooo... nice score! I wear a size 7, but would seriously consider removing a few toes if it meant I could squeeze my foot into those booties. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThank you for the birthday wishes, btw. :)
Magnificent!
ReplyDeleteNice stasharino for sure!! Yes, the top ones are totally amazing!
ReplyDeleteCindy - I'm a 7 1/2 and I did my best to cram my feet into the booties.
ReplyDeleteMiss Matilda - I think so too!
Kim - I looked through a ton of sewing stuff to try to find you something. She had a machine and tons of thread but no good buttons, patterns or fabric (at least by the time I got there)
