I have been thinking about buying a pair of these shoes in the beige for AAAAAAGGGGGES, but recently got a vintage pair of shoes in a similar colour, so now I'm thinking about the red!

I've been able to try them on for size somewhere but can't decide whether it is cheaper to buy from the US and have them sent to the UK (risking having to pay Customs charges) or just pay the higher UK price and less postage (and NO custom fees!)

Miss Jay! I love the beige shoes. I can think of about a billion ways to wear them. The red are super cute, but I would have been waaaay more tempted by the others!

SayCici Please say we get to see the suit on? It's really smart on the mannequin.

Foofoogal - I'm pretty brand-blind (I bit on purpose), but the man who sold it said that even the box was worth some money. It was "expensive" by my standard, but only because I think of it like wine - it's only a fun surprise if it's cheap!

Great deal on the bag MJrules - but the pattern is love!

I ordered two pairs of shoes today:

Thanks for the encouragement, oh ye of the 'should I could I' thread
(BTW I always intended to buy the red ones, only had doubts about the others). Postage for two is only slightly more than for one!

Miss Jay - I hope the red shoes work out for you. They are gorgeous! And they are also very comfortable (just got a pair in black).

I got these beautiful Faryl Robin shoes on eBay for just $4.25! I was stoked! They are amazing, well made and the leather is soft and beautifully braided. The model is called Canary.

I found the sweetest pair of late 1930s cotton knit pjs, made by Vanity Fair:

And look at how the elastic is on the outside of the waist!

 

[Lady Day]

Wow, those PJs are divine!

'My Home' magazine from August 1946 and just £4! I hope it includes a pattern for the blue argyle cardigan...

 

[Lady Day]

Those catalin buttons in the lower left (two unused cards!) are worth more than what I paid for the whole shoot!
There is a SCALOP RULER in there!!! Squeeee!!
