One of my Christmas gifts from my husband is a new pair of shoes - reproduction of a 1930's style. A good friend recommended these to me. I just received them in the mail and they are very comfy with a low heal. Perfect for every day wear. The soles are suede so I would advise not to wear these in wet/snowy weather, but they are fine to wear on a dry day. Sometimes you can find these on ebay if you choose not to pay full retail price. I got them from:

Our living room. This is one of my favorite places to sit and read or listen to Old Time Radio. I found the chair at a local thrift store for $20.00. It is a Montgomery Ward mohair circa 1942. On it is a vintage barkcloth pillow I made and a quilt I got at a garage sale for $5.00. The lamp and table are also thrifted. The curtains are vintage barkcloth (5 panels!) found at a small town antique store. The pictures are just a few of my collection of vintage lithos. These are "Goes" from 1940 era. My furniture does suffer some damage because we have cats with claws. I found some old doilies at Goodwill and sewed them onto the chair to cover the snags.
