"New" Vintage Shoes
I'm always looking for a pair of vintage shoes, with out much luck, but this weekend I found TWO pairs in barely worn condition!! It may just be my unlucky luck but I feel like when I usually find vintage shoes they are sizes 5 or 6, which are way to small for my boat feet..LOL:) But I think/feel that people typically did have smaller feet 40 or so years ago...so it is kind of rare to find something in an 8 or 9?...do you guys feel this way to? Any who the first pair I bought are a 9 1/2 which fit like a glove, but the others are an 8 which may be just a tiny bit to small but they will definitely do! Also, I want to add that these are the most comfortable heels that I have ever worn, so if you have a chance to buy some do!! They just don't make them like they use to:)
Here's a piece that I've been working on for little girls room. I wanted to do some simple embroidered wall art of her favorite things to hang on her wall, I used some vintage fabric that my grandmother gave me:) I love when I can incorporate family "heirlooms" into my art as I think it helps to tell a story if you will. Coming next I think will be a slide, and a dog?

Vintage Patio
I've really been wanting to add some fun vintage/retro color to my patio. I have lots of the vintage metal outdoor furniture such as a vintage glider and large metal chairs, however I've had them for two years and still can't decide what color to paint them? So I've done some searching over on flickr and I was able to find a few inspiring pictures.....maybe I will actually go and buy some paint today?
