They were high enough when I first found them but the prices just seem to have increased despite no sale! They insist that the right person will come along one day and won't mind paying out.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238571735302117986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-84700611559719272292014-03-07T04:40:34.894-08:002014-03-07T04:40:34.894-08:00Thank you very much, sweet Dan.

It's not huge, but it's well stocked and very inviting feeling, so once you're inside you feel like you want to linger and really soak up the atmosphere for as long as possible (which is one of the hallmarks of a great vintage shop - or any shop, for that matter - if you ask me). <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-63617105724333656132014-03-06T14:14:44.482-08:002014-03-06T14:14:44.482-08:00It looks like a nice place where to spend some tim...It looks like a nice place where to spend some time to find out vintage clothes and lovable accessories!<br />You are wearing a very beautiful skirt and look radiant!

In a way I wish that was a feeling I could experience more often though, as it would mean there were actually more vintage shops than there are around these parts. I hope you have lots of awesome ones in your area and that you're able to get into each new one that springs up lickety-split, dear gal.<br /><br />Thank you for your terrific comment,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-37210008669452763602014-03-05T17:01:04.545-08:002014-03-05T17:01:04.545-08:00Eee I love discovering a new vintage store.

From then onwards it appears in my dreams (more like nightmares) showing me all the amazing things that I am missing out on because I didn't stop. Torture!

During our trip that day, there wasn't a huge array of vintage shoes, but I did spot see a few pairs and tried on one (1940s oxford style shoes), which unfortunately was just a touch too narrow for me (had they not been, they would have come home with me in a flash). Still, they're one of the only places for a few hundred miles around that I know which have any vintage shoes, so perhaps I'll get lucky on a future trip and be able to bring a pair home with me. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-48392649673767506552014-03-04T08:04:00.358-08:002014-03-04T08:04:00.358-08:00I wish I could visit this shop.

Luckily though, they're a little under two hours away, so getting up that way to visit in person every now should be doable (as long as my health permits). I haven't been back since, but am hoping to head up that way again in the spring, once all this nearly endless snow decides to finally call it quits and the roads are good (safe) once more. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your great comment,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-43983431216743142542014-03-03T14:08:02.344-08:002014-03-03T14:08:02.344-08:00Thank you very much, sweet Joanna.

I purchased both (they're plain, relatively narrow bangles in classic Bakelite shades of caramel-y yellow/orange) and am sure they'll appear here in outfit posts many times. It's always a thrill to find Bakelite at a reasonable (by Canadian standards) price in this part of the world. I really love the c. 1930s metal brooches and 1950s necklace (and quilted bed jacket) that I got there that day as well. <br /><br />Big hugs from ubre snowy Penticton,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-20271038716064415502014-03-03T13:48:40.152-08:002014-03-03T13:48:40.152-08:00I LOVE YOUR STYLE!A fun from GreeceI LOVE YOUR STYLE!A fun from GreeceThe one with all househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223492835062988406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-23112483015223738032014-03-03T13:19:12.791-08:002014-03-03T13:19:12.791-08:00What a fun experience!
