Another quick picture centric post..... I was tempted to title this post Shoe P0RN but thought that would get the wrong kind of Google hits!!!! :) Today I received a pair of antique shoes I got off eBay and couldn't be more tickled with them for $10! It even included the original box. They are beige suede high heels from 1952 that someone wore in their wedding ceremony (Size 6AA is a modern skinny 5.5). They have the cutest side bow. I intend to wear them to my rehearsal dinner. Also threw up my pair of black rose mesh 1945 heels (6AAA) I got at a hole in the wall in Charleston, S.C. Evidently they had been in this vintage clothing shop for YEARS because nobody could fit into them! The owner saw them actually fit my feet and let me have them for half price! ($30) One good thing about having very tiny feet is you find very interesting shoes!
Now I have a two pairs of antique shoes that I can wear, hopefully my new love won't turn into a full blown collection.... as an archaeologist I think I have bad tendencies to collect things...... I almost got a pristine pair of brown lizard 1942 heels for $6 on eBay but at the very end 4 separate bidders came in and the pair sold for $85. Maybe next time!
I promise next post will be all food and no wedding!!!!
