Purveyor of Old Goods

I absolutely love antique shopping! - As a child I would go on pretend "treasure hunts" throughout my neighborhood searching for odds and ends. I would also spend my summers in the local library doing research on the archaeologists that discovered some of the most coveted pieces from the ancient ruins in Egypt. I always knew that one day I too would go on "treasure hunts" of my own when I got older; certainly this isn't as grand as an excavation in Egypt, but the thrill I get is amazing nonetheless.

Here are some pictures I took at one of my favorite antique stores tucked away in the outskirts of L.A! Check out some of the pics the gracious owner allowed me to take in her barn chock-full of treasures!

Mama's Got a [few] New Pairs of Shoes | Jeffrey Campbell Score

 

I have a jam packed day today [sitting in court], however I wanted to drop in and show you a few new items I scored from the LF Warehouse Sale. I will take more pics of the rest of the shoes/scores [I think I got 6 pair total] when I make it back to my casa :-)

Due to time restraints, I will do Link Love this coming Monday! Until then....

If you are anywhere near California, you may want to check out the LF Warehouse Sale.  All of the shoes pictured retail for over $200 [Except for the flats], and I paid less $50! Here's the info:
