Updates/new items....

Hey Swappy Friends....just wanted to let you know I'll hopefully have some new items up in the Swappy Seconds shop within the next few weeks.  Hopefully before the holidays.

Also, just wanted to let you know, even though I post a deadline for swap proposals, if an item has no proposals often I still keep it on hand for swapping at least a month or two after the deadline.........

so with that being said, don't hesitate to ask me if I still have an item even if the deadline has since past.

Usually if the deadline has past, I'll take the first offer in order to get the item outta my house.

And now that I mention that little tidbit, let me tell you all items posted in the blog entires below have since been donated, swapped, or given away.  They are no longer in my possession.

So visit me soon-I'll have some wintery items up for grabs and I look forward to swapping with YOU.

xoxo-

Swap #7: Red Snakeskin BCBG Heels

Cherry red, faux snakeskin, pair of BCBG heels up for swaps!

Practically like new-I only wore them 2 times.

Take it from me, they inject your style with a pin-up girl like style. HOT, and madly tall; they'll make you gorgeous and you'll hold your head just a tad higher.

They fit a tad too big on me, and sadly we have to part ways.

But that's yours fortune! So get in on this swap before its over.

Size: 7-1/2

(I think they're more like a long 8, but very narrow-you must have a slim foot for these)

Length: 9-1/2"

Heel Height: 4"

Genuine Leather upper, man-made lining and sole

Condition: Good

For these shoes, I'll swap with you for something from my WISHLIST

Don't have anything to swap?

Ok, no problem....just give me $12.00 + cost of shipping.

Swap #5: Metallic Silver Vintage Shoes

Swap #5: VINTAGE SILVER METALLIC SHOES

Size 9

I came across these shoes way back in high school--they were amongst some of my first vintage items I ever bought. Found them on the mezzanine of my very favorite antique store back home in Evansville, IN.

I wore them only once; they're very fragile and delicate...and sadly I realized I could not fool myself any longer. My feet are not a size 9; therefore these cuties are too big on me :(

They're darling. From the silver lame fabric ("lame" as pronounced le-may. I just can't seem to figure out where the French accent mark is on my keyboard--it is not "lame" as in, "loserville"), to the rhinestone detail, to the fact that the brand is named, "Miss America"!

As mentioned, they're size 9.

(Approx 10-1/2" length)

Heel height: 2"

These shoes are at my guess 30-45+ years old.

(all you vintage experts out there, correct me if I'm wrong-or let me know exact era please)

And with age, there's slight aging...

-A faint brown-ish stain grazes the left shoe flat

-The flap of left shoe is coming detached (as seen below, easily fixable w/some stitching or glue)

-Shoes, especially left, is minimally stretched out as if a wide foot once wore these.

-Slight yellowing on the inside of shoe

-Overall, the right shoe is in good condition, left shoe is poor condition

(but with a little love, I'm certain they can be restored. With that said, they're both still very wearable)
