Vintage Treasures

Found some great things this week on my visits to the charity shops this week. Some more nice brown brogues, yet more headscarves and this beast of a cardigan:


Its so long it touches the floor on little old me and feels like wearing a big blanket its so cuddly and warm. It's all been hand-knitted and is finished with gorgeous gold knot buttons. I've never seen a cardigan like it! The cable knit trend is everywhere on the high street but there's such a big difference in quality - they don't make them quite like they used to! I'm putting this one on sale in our shop for £45 - not bad when you consider a short Topshop one is £65.


Another vintage treasure I picked up this week are these cute shoes - they finally were delivered after I  bought them on ebay. I thought they'd be good for re-sale but when I tried them on I just had to have them for myself. They are actually just what the doctor ordered - having been to the Physio and the Podiatrist this week apparently I've been wearing too many flat shoes and I need a sensible square 1" heel (as well as special inserts). They are a perfect fit for my awkward size 4 1/2 feet so I couldn't really say no - much cheaper and better quality than buying new ones - they only cost a fiver!
