Vintage Store Shopping

I found some treasures out vintage store shopping that I truly did not need but make quirky additions to my clutter filled life.
Some Zori (I think that's the name) with cute little bells in the heels. I'd like to believe these belonged to a child but I fear they belonged to a full grown woman.


But they are silk and beautiful, regardless. I shall put all that foot binding business out of my head.


I also got a nutty hat and a spool to set it on, for my dresser.


And then just to be totally politically incorrect I picked up a rabbit fur muffler. It's child size and completely decorative - and this rabbit is long dead so all you anti-fur people BACK OFF. It's vintage. Plus, at our house the rule is if we don't eat it we don't wear it......so, I'll just hang it here, as I don't eat rabbit. (But if I DO eat rabbit some day I might just wear this for grins).


So there, some of my vintage store finds from Saturday. We didn't find furniture THAT day but we got some really quirky fun stuff for the house.
And yes, that's a Barbie.

BUT WHAT IS IT MOM?

Just a reminder that when you leave Atlanta.......you're in GEORGIA.


Out to dinner last night in a rather rural area.......quite far from home to be exact.


The big boy had to use the restroom so we went together to the ladies, and when we exited the stall and turned the corner to wash his hand he screamed "AAAAA! WHAT IS THAT?"


I took a look. "Ummm, it's a decoration."


"But what IS IT Mom? It's scary."


"Well.....it's supposed to be......pretty......."


He shook his head. "Scary things aren't pretty, Mom."


No. No they aren't.


So we took a pic, so you would believe us.
