shoes and bags!

A little shop accessories preview with shoes (clogs, platforms, sandals, pumps!), bags (don't miss the wonderful Margaret Smith floral tote), a belt, scarves, and the cutest little lambs you ever have seen.

Wooden platform clogs with spring branch cutouts.

1960s gold pumps with rhinestones, by Orchids.

1950s men's oxfords, by J.W. Carter Co.

White leather and faux bois wedge sandals, by Charm Step.

Wacky wooden hollow platform oxford slingbacks.

Saddle shoes!

Woven cork platform sandals.

1950s "lady cop" or "nun" oxfords. I think these were worn by lady cops or postal workers, or other women who wore uniforms and had to be on their feet a lot. Andy says he thinks they're nun shoes. Whichever is the case, I own a pair, and they are so comfortable, and also quite cute!

Nautical tote bag.

Weird yet wonderful scarf--a girl, scarecrow, clown, poppies...? Kind of Wizard of Oz-ish.

Clip-on bow ties.

Chalkware lambs!

Swingline Cub stapler.

macro thrift trip

Some shots from last Saturday's thrift trip, which was filled with early spring produce from the farmers market, a fantastic lunch of celery soup and goat cheese tart, and some great thrifting finds.

Here I am, in a 1940s print crepe blouse, ever-present mustard J. Crew cardigan (seriously, I wear it all the time), jeans, and 1950s lady cop oxfords.

Close-up of the print on the blouse, which buttons up the back with the cutest clear blue plastic buttons with flowers on them.

The most ridiculous print I have ever seen on a western shirt.

Gratuitous dog shot. Well, not entirely gratuitous. We celebrate Lucy's birthday every Cinco de Mayo, so please join us in wishing her happy birthday. She's about 77 in dog years, but can still run circles around me. When she's not napping. We celebrated with a trip to the pet supply store where she was allowed to sniff the various rawhide items to her heart's content, and where I learned of the existence of cherry-flavored pigs' ears. Like plain pigs' ears aren't disgusting enough. There will be a nice walk in the woods once the weather improves, and special treats. No pigs' ears--just chicken jerky.
