Yes, it's practically Wednesday, but I have to share the loveliness I found recently! That, and I need to come back from my accidental posting hiatus..
You know those incredible old church thrift shops, run by lovely older women who are the real gems of the store? Well, even their brilliance was eclipsed by this find:
Two pairs of vintage Delman shoes, I believe from the late 60s to early 70s. In a size 8AA narrow width, they were most certainly worn by a lady who lunched. They are co-branded with the Charles Sumner mark, an exclusive women's clothing store that was on Newbury St in Boston until the mid-90s. How much for these beauties? $4 apiece!
I also found this Mid-Century (late 50s - early 60s) Kitchen Paper, Tin Foil, and Wazed-Paper Dispenser at the Cambridge Goodwill:
A little bit of retro for only $3.99!
Happy Thrifting!
I love vintage shoes, but a AA narrow would never fit me. And you're right, the lovely older women who run church thrift stores truly are gems. There is a store I like that I have to drive a ways to get to, but the conversations are always worth it.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on scouting out as many of these stores as possible when I travel. I find that many higher end shoes, both vintage or current, are quite narrow. These will be cleaned up and either kept as objets d'art or etsied!
