Please? :)<br /><br />Vintagevisions 27, Time Traveling in Costume - glad you enjoyed the post. The CW mantua-makers never fail in make me!<br /><br />Isobel, nightsmusic - ah, yes, the shoes! Sarah's shoes are amazing, and I was so happy to be there on the first day she wore them. Nothing like new shoes, esp new old shoes.<br /><br />Isobel, I totally agree about the difficulty of finding good reproductions. Nearly all that are available are just not "right" - they're too clunky, the heels and toes aren't extreme/stylish enough, and they're often like the Model T: any color you want so long as it's black. But these with the yellow heels....::sigh:: Sarah's just begun another pair, and I can't wait to see what they look like!Isabella Bradford/Susan Holloway Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997375216314200469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-6081976180699679972012-01-11T19:42:03.736-05:002012-01-11T19:42:03.736-05:00Out of 220 feeds today O_o, yours is one of three ...Out of 220 feeds today O_o, yours is one of three I'm reading and you know it's today because of the shoes.
