Look at these sweet little stilettos.  Just when I thought I was already in shoe heaven, I turned around and there they were.

A super-practical style and very unusual color – also another “accessory” that is just perfect for the season.  And, in such fabulous condition!  Someone loved them at least as much as I do . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

FABULOUS SIXTIES – SEVENTIES FOOTWEAR FUN!!! GREAT WOODEN-SOLED LEATHER CLOGS

I was SOOO happy-dancing when I found these!  LOVE clogs.  Although they are not Scandinavian (still the very best), it’s so difficult to find clogs with wooden soles now, let alone made of leather.

And, these are just so hippie-dippy wonderful.  The heel of one even has a knot in the wood.  Looks pretty back-to-the-land to me – and, they fit me perfectly.

I always pick up these old cotton or cotton blend housecoats when I find them.  Although there are similar ones being made now, the older ones tend to have the best quality and most interesting styling and decoration.

Such fun to know these little differences that make a big impact on your satisfaction when you wear them!

MADE IN JAPAN – LOOK AT THIS FAB COTTON KIMONO!

IMG_3895

Although the phrase “made in Japan” used to connote (in Western countries) some cheap trinket back in the WWI, WWII and Post-war days before their technological revolution, Japan is also the country that is known for gorgeous kimonos and traditional garments of the most elaborate embroidered silk.

Another unusual and  surprising find.  I’m not sure exactly how to date this 100% cotton robe, but it’s beautiful and well-styled in it’s elegant simplicity.  The fan motifs are very wonderful and I love the colors (as does Stella – with that auburn hair it’s dynamite on her!).

Definitely a keeper.  More to come . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

SO UNUSUAL – 1960’S VELVETEEN MINI MATERNITY DRESS!

IMG_3894

What a surprise to come across this custom-tailored frock.  It’s got many clues that told me of it’s age and how it came to be, but the styling was the real delight.  SO unusual to discover a maternity dress or a “tent dress” from the mid-1960’s.

Tent dresses were all the rage for a while during the Mad Mod Sixties.  Fortunately, the style didn’t hang around too long.  But, what could be more perfect as a maternity design?  This one is meant for fall and winter partying in heavy velveteen.  I have to say, it is cute on Stella.

After discovering a treasure like this, I wondered what could be next and it didn’t take long to find out.  Stay tuned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
