Thrifted Gazith!

Thrifted Gazith!

Do these shoes look familiar? They should. I posted about shoes just like these last week in an entry entitled Miz Mooz. The last I checked on Ebay, the shoes were going for $15.50. Well, I found this pair at the Salvation Army for $3.00. Pretty cool, huh? It's a decent pair, too, and hardly used from the looks of it.

Okay, okay, the shoes weren't quite the right size for me -- they were 2 sizes larger than what I normally wear -- a 41. But, I figured that heel liners would make them a perfect fit. So I picked up a pack of heel liners from Walgreens on my way home and I was right! It's perfect now and quite comfy, too. Woot!

In case you're wondering about the label, Gazith is Avi Wiener, the creative designer of "Miz Mooz by Gazith".

The buckle is secure. A retainer loop is unnecessary, after all.

My feet look kinda normal in them -- I love my new kicks! Haha!

Thrifted Earrings

Thrifted Earrings

I get a high from fabulous finds. Especially these 50 cent thrifted earrings -- woot woot! The most expensive ones were the Cow Jumped Over the Moon earrings. They were only a dollar.

The Cow Jumped Over the Moon

Cow Jumped Over the Moon
Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the dish ran away with spoon.

There's something so incredibly captivating about the imagery of the cow jumping over the moon. Though Wikipedia cites three different theories on the origin of "Hey Diddle Diddle", my fascination with the nursery rhyme, or rather -- my fascination with a single line of it -- is much simpler. To me, it speaks much about defying the impossible.

I thank my neighbors down the street for holding such a rockin' garage sale and for selling this under-priced pair of earrings for a mere dollar.

Another Woman's Treasure

I love garage sales and almost always visit each one that I happen to stumble upon. Though I'm not always excited by the goods at each sale, it's always fun to think of the possibility of uniting with a great find. And so it was today -- a treasure chest of great finds for a grand total of $7.00. Meet my shabby loves:
