I love to wear mine with with my ol 40's vintage farm dresses, especially when its cold out.This mossy green check zipper front farm dress has a big button top & I'm wearin' my ol faithful brown sweater ahhh this is for some comfortable vintage...very errand friendly

scuffs and all they are so comfy and actually when i go see a rotten' tooten twangy ol' rockabilly band like Deke Deckerson they make for some easy twirly dancin'...and they don't hurt my feet at the end of the night like my wedgies do...

now a few months ago i bought this darlin' vintage industrial spinnin rack

I couldn't figure out what to use it for...so during the holiday i hung my cards...ok but not right...

Saltwater sandals & A Daily outfit too!

hey kittens...i am so excited to share one favorite goodie of mine & i'll throw in a daily outfit too...

so this is my daily outfit...a yummy pink and blue rose 1950's sundress...metal zipper back and the sweetest pockets...i wore a 1950's blue flowered necklace & bracelet that i bought in Viva last year & my sweet lil' girl white sandals...

a close up of the print of the dress and my necklace...the bunch of flowers at the bottom is actually the clasp...

sweet sweet pockets...and bracelet...this set came with a matching sweater clip as well...a great set to find! I snatched it up so darn fast!

so now...the Sandals...oh i love these!

these sandals are one of my favorite finds evah! Aren't they sweet...I found these when my oldest was only 1 year old...boo hoo 17 years ago.i have had my girls wear these lil' adorable sandals their whole lives and i swear by them!

They are Saltwater sandals a 60+ year sandal by the HOY company...a company that has been making these adorable sandals since 1940! A true vintage sandal that you can have today!

As you know During World War II there was a leather shortage! And one wonderful man who worked for the military making boots...decided to use the ol' scraps from the soldiers boots to make kids sandals. And the Salt water sandal was born & has been made the same ever since! They fit any foot..wide and narrow...just pull the leather with your thumbs and wallah...they fit just right!

Salt water sandals are a strong leather,rust resistant buckles,& made to be worn in the water! yep in the water!

they are so amazingly durable for kids...and the vintage history are the purrrrrfect addition to a lot of my vintage dresses...my red pair are my favorite!

i get so many compliments on them with my vintage dresses and they are so comfy! They come in lots of colors...and look great with cuffed jeans & sweaters! I usually love them in summer for flea markets and totally wear them when i ride my pink bike...

so this is the pair my eyes are on...soft pink & very sweet! Now i gotta find a new dress...of coarse! :) hope you like these adorable sandals...thanks for swingin' by kittens have a rocken' week! Cat~

Woooo Hooooo! Vintage shoppin' & a Daily Outfit too!

Hey sassy kittens! Wooooo Hoooooo! I had such a blast this weekend! ...the sun was out and i hit the open out doors with a very sweet lil' vintage zipper front strawberry pickin' house dress! Ah what sweet goodness...i just go crazy for fruit on a vintage dress!

My task at hand while i picked my dress for that day was...hit the farmers market for ummm can you guess fresh strawberries...and a few lil' vintage shops downtown...So gals...lets have some fun...take a peek at some vintage goodies...

first miss sweet...baby chick who is going off to college...collects many era's of painted metal flower pins...she pins them on pillows in her room and often wears them with lil' sweet sweaters...they make her so happy...we bought the red white and blue one....hmmm i see her wearin' it for the 4th of july

next some diggin through many racks of vintage clothes...i love this shop because they are all hung very neatly...

60's sparkle shoes...ahhhhh like diamonds for your feet

that is one thing this shop has so much of the 60's...which is my college cuties best fittin' era...the straight shift dresses and thick healed shoes...she often makes me think of Jackie O...when she dresses in 60's!

Next a lil' fur action...lots of vintage coats...

isn't this lace top dress a wonderful color...hmmm...check the price...no way a steal at ...$10.00




look this coat is only $10.00...my oh my!

Next...miss sugar pie jumped for joy at this find...look at this regal buffet coffee maker...she collects 60's dishes in that 60's orange & avocado green...this goodie was $6.00...wow!




ahhh... my day in the sunshine! I did get lots of fresh yummy strawberries...and some good finds...thanks for takin' a peek with me...at some vintage shoppin'...Cat
