Hey hey hey. It's late in the week but here I am, I've been busy getting my ish together in my Etsy shop, finally listing items and not at crazy prices cause I freaking hate when people do that. I couldn't wait to share with you the great finds I found at the San Bernardino swap meet last Sunday. San Bernardino is the home of the 1st McDonalds, ever. It also also boasts a pretty high murder rate. I think it's 15th in the U.S. these days but don't quote me. Enough of the 187, check out this fancy beadwork!
Sorry, I had to crop out my maternity panty line. gross.
This gorgeous beaded and sequined jacket cost me $9 dollars. I think I was still bitter from our garage sale and people trying to lower my prices so I innocently said to the lady, "Will you take 7 for it?" She told me no, and that it was worth way more than that. I respected her for that. My kinda lady. Of course it was worth more than $9.00. I was just being the same a$$hole that came to my own garage sale.
These shoes have a story, I know, I'm full of them today. I saw them at the Alameda Antique Fair but passed them up as I was running low on cash. And then for days after I could not stop thinking about them and googling "victorian granny boots lace brocade." I decided I would find the vendor on the internet because I remember her having an Etsy shop. Found her on twitter, tweeted her, she listed them for me, and then they finally came home to mama with a note that she accepts ATM, oops. Here is her blog http://blog.nickienoel.com/ I found this purse that matched perfectly at a garage sale.
Car emblem necklace made by me, now available in my shop here http://www.etsy.com/listing/96518115/cadillac-car-emblem-necklace
And for my last trick, this polar bear sweater I got for $1.00! What is cuter than two polar bears choking one another on a sweater? Don't worry, I'll wait.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks for visiting me.
Qué maravilla de botas, ahhhhhhhhhhh. Me encanta todo, Sophia.
ReplyDeleteY llevas toda la razón del mundo no sé por qué tienen que poner esos precios en ETSY. Yo ni me acerco.
Mil besos y feliz finde.

Wahoo I think I see a bump! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteAnd what do you mean 'maternity panty line'?! Those undies are the best thing about being preg! LOL!
You look fantastic in black and white. x
You're right, I can't think of anything better suited to sweaterdom than auto-erotic polar bear asphyxiation.
ReplyDeleteThose boots are perfect on you, glad you tracked them down again. And I am beyond tempted by your Cadillac necklace - did you lever it off yourself, you hoodlum?

i love your sweater! can't believe it was only a dollar, and also your jacket, BARGAIN! ilove the ncklace as well! CADILLAC. love it :D xxx
ReplyDeleteLuces radiante sexy hermania!
ReplyDeleteAsi me gusta ver a a las mujeres embarazadas... bien spectacularmente vestidas.
What a gorgeous beaded bolero/jacket!
I know hate when people sale clothes on Ebay/Etsy for 100 times the price. thats Why I rather look elsewhere. I'm saving your Etsy tiendia to my favs.
love your Victorian granny lace botias, I used to own a pair of them in the 80's ,but mine were plane white no lace,I would wear them with some ruffled socks.
You crack me up 187,ahahaha
You look adorable in your polar oso sweater...no choking Nachio for awhile.
I need wear my El Dorado necklace more often.

Dude, those polar bears aren't choking each other are they? They are playing asphyxiation games while making little polar bear babies!
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is the bomb - those boots are KILLER and you get better looking each day. Seriously, could you get any more gorgeous? Also, love the Cadillac necklace SO MUCH.

Holy balls! That polar bear jumper is brilliant! That's the best second-hand haul I've seen in a long time, amd fair play to you for chasing up those boots. Whenever I lose an item like that I'm never proactive about finding them and jst sit in a grump for a few hours. I'll be checking out yr Etsy shop and counting down the days until I have money again!
