Shoes



I am O V E R T H E M O O N about my sandal boot shoes.
I found these at a vintage store in Kansas City for $3.00.

After using my ice pick, utility knife, razor blade and sand paper on them I put them on and ran through the house.
With old and ugly S E N I O R feet...I seldom wear sandals. These have air holes and feel super comfy and luvvly jubbly.
I want to make some more sandals out of my canvas slip ons next.
I am so P U M P E D about repurposing left behind items.

Adding 2 pillows to my new collection



This is an ordinary old pillow. What makies it more memorable is that I slashed it with a box cutter and inserted brown vintage sweater wool behind the openings to give it more personality.



In simple...I adore vintage terry cloth towels. This towel I ripped and frayed the edges and glued it to the surface of a canvas pillow I had thrown away. I fished it out of the trash and resurrected it. It now LIVES.

1. Our picnic in our suite...it was ice cold and 33 degrees outside.
2. The Rodin exhibit at The Nelson.
3. Getting new pale blue jeans at Anthrogologie.
4. Coffee shop stops constantly.
5. Coming home to our cozy house with lots of cool stuff to remember.


Happy B DAY B O B!

If your luvvly jubbly hubby turns 60 take him on a romantic wicked picnic in a cool city.


Don't forget...the  P I L L O W S...... or a comfy vintage table cloth for napping. Throw in a vintage umbrella in case in rains. 










These I made from tarp canvas (rubbed with oil paint) and a needlepoint I found at a thrifty.








Try using a vintage hat box for your wine and   t   a   l    l   French bread in addition to cheese, grapes,  finger foods, Bob's your uncle.
Bring a vintage clip board to rest your wine goblets on. Take your good ones. You only live once.
