Birdcages!!!
A friend of mine shared the link to an ebay auction last week. The link was for the most amazing pair of shoes I have ever seen! Glamorous vintage peeptoe pumps, but with a little something special in the heel. ...well, actually, not just in the heel, but the entire heel itself! Designed to look like a birdcage, these heels actually have a little bird inside too! I caught the auction midway through. They'd been bid up to about $250 and had yet to reach the reserve price. In the end, they sold for a whopping $482.99!!! Unbelievable! But then again, in all my years in vintage, I have never seen another pair of shoes like these! Definitely a collectors item and worthy of ending up in a museum or on the lucky winners feet!
Here are a couple of pics of the shoes...but you can still see the ebay auction with additional photos and information here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Vintage-LaRose-Birdcage-Peeptoe-Sandals-6-1-2-D-/170521136026?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Vintage_Shoes&hash=item27b3da0b9a#ht_5653wt_966

I'm Back and posting on ETSY again!
Hello All!
My trip to LA was just what I needed! Only wish I had another week to spend more time in the thrift stores! Instead, we spent the great majority of our week deep in the dark depths of record stores. And yes, I do mean "record"!... the sorts of stores that sell old vinyl and if you get to chatting with the owner, he may well give you a discount on your purchases! My boyfriend and I came back with some true gems and all at bargain prices!
We did make it to a couple of thrift stores and I will follow this post with a few pics of the things I found there. Since our return, work has kept me busy and a little cold has been keeping me at home. So, instead of wallowing in my aches and pains, I decided to get some pics taken and things posted to my ETSY shop: www.Questionetc.etsy.com I spent the majority of Saturday working on this and I've even already sold one of the newly posted items! Here's a few pics of some of the new items added.
