Why the happy dance?
Oh, no reason in particular ... just a bit of a Sunday jig.
The Stylist and I went to a flea market an hour before closing to see if we could scrounge some bargains.
We didn't have to go far.
We found a mystery pile of shoes dumped right on our parking bay.
By an absolute freak chance, they were the right sizes for The Stylist and I, so we picked out a few pairs we liked and left the rest for someone else to poke through.
Maybe a vendor dropped them in the early morning darkness?
Buyer regret?
Who knows, who cares?
They were dumped so we grabbed them.
Man I just love free stuff!!
I swear I've been looking for a pair of 1940s-style booties for winter - these are black, suede, free and they fit - bingo!
Sarah Misfit has been spending some well-deserved down time on The Whore, which reminds me how much I've been neglecting my couch.
I'm rectifying the situation.

ReplyDeleteoh if I can have anything for free its gotta be S.H.O.E.S. wonderful find darlink.
ReplyDeleteThose free suede booties are quite a score-- perfect for your hot legggggzzzz!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started going to car boot sales I was still drinking and would usually require a marathon sleep-in on Sunday mornings. I'd never hit the sales before midday and quite often near closing time, one of the benefits being that by then the sellers were slashing prices left right and center and often chucking in free stuff when you bought something.
ReplyDeleteThose suede booties are fabulous, I would have grabbed them too....bingo indeed!
I love your pin-up stylee couch posing, I think Sarah may have kicked off yet another trend in the blogoshere ;)
Awesome shorts, purple velvet, YOWZA!

ReplyDeleteRah! Those booties were FREE? They are dreams on sticks of dreaminess. What a boon!
ReplyDeleteLoving you from a far. I had a dream and you and your Bella and Phoenix featured in it- even by the time I realized it was a dream, I was stoked to be so near to you. So here's an electronic virtual hug- it will have to do for now. -Bella the Citizen Rosebud
MY GOSH!! Free shoes? FREE SHOES? How could you get any more lucky?
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic and I loved your little jig dance. *hehehe*
I dunno 'bout Cindy because you are definitely a Desiree, but now I know where those booties came from. You DO have a shoe fairy!
ReplyDeleteSlap! Well, Cindy, you certainly know how to kick up your heels for no reason at all! Which is the only way to celebrate, gulp, FREE SHOES!!! If Sarah's Whore and your couch got together, I wonder what their children would look like... Lazy Boys? Never!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, look at your fabulous legs! Those booties were such a good score - I can't wait until my shoes all fit me again! I am in total love with your couch too, it just looks so comfortable & crocheted. :)
