Ok, ok.... so I'm still stuck on the pink shoes we wore in my sister's wedding. They are So freakin' cute!
I hope to resume my shoe hoarding posts to normal soon.
However, today's post is special.
~BECAUSE~
IT'S MY GRAND OPENING!!
I have joined Etsy to bring you The Scarlett Rose Garden Shop.
"A mixed bouquet of vintage fashoin & handmade goods."
Shoes are my main focus right now.
WANT SOME CANDY?!
These are some of the shoes that I have listed, or am getting ready to list.
They are either vintage or embellished.
When I got married over 8 years ago, I searched high and low for Marie Antoinette style shoes. I burned my eyes out on the internet and could only find shoes for $200 or more. I ended up finding a black pair in a thrift store, and I "reupholstered" them with the fabric from my wedding dress.
Today, they are still hard to find. There is really only one shoe that shows up for retail, and it runs between $50 and $70. And yet, the heel is too spikey and not so 18th century looking.
So I have decided to alter shoes to resemble colonial and victorian times, or a mixture of modern day with the past.
I'm having fun with it.
It has kept me quite busy lately!
And that vintage pink baby scale I showed you recenlty? It will come in handy to weigh things for shipping! Cool, eh?
You can click on the photos to enlarge them, or if you would like to view my listings please click www.scarlettrosegarden.etsy.com
I would love to hear from my fellow blogger friends who have Etsy shops as well!
Wish me luck!
