Lace, Leather, Lanterns, and Black Shoes

Here are a few little goodies from 2 weeks ago.
'New' books, and 2 spools of 1/4" leather 'strapping".
(is that what you call it??? or is it lacing?)
A HUGE roll of this light bluish green sheer lace.
It is about 5" across!!!

Beautiful 4" delicate lace.
Wonder how many yards are on it??

Two new lanterns

And some cute little Black Shoes.
Look at those tattered toes!

These are not real shoes, but resin I think.
Aren't they great though??

And, found tons of new and wonderful 'treasures'
the past two weekends.
Will get photos and get them posted.

To those who continue to visit even though I have not
been posting as much, many thanks.
I've spent most of my time and energy getting
a new room at store ready to open.
Almost done!!!

Silver & Gold for you.... And some black too.

I showed these silver buckles a while back.

Well, here are some gold/brass ones too.
And hearts! Just in time for Valentines Day.
Any project you'd like to do with these?
There are bunches!!
Told you I am cleaning out!!

I found these metal shoe thingies at the flea market.
The guy said they were used to form shoes to make them.
Is that what they are for??
Well, does not really matter.
They were old, black, and cool.
So, of course I bought them!

Here is a close up of the one on the right.
Anyone know what the numbers, letter mean?

Look what else I found.

These wonderful black shoes.
What do you think?
Black ribbon for laces???
Any other ideas??

Here is a close up of the detail
Not sure if they are old or not,
but sure think they are cool.

And here is me, helping a friend clean.
So much more fun cleaning someone elses house,
than my own. =)

Speaking of fun....
Here is my Mom, at dinner for her 80th birthday.
We also gave her a big pizza party and invited all her friends.
