Yes! The shoes fit! I will admit that they are the tiniest bit snug but just so beautiful that I don't even care and I'm sure they'll stretch a little. I will definitely wear them. I am SO in love with the color and the suede is like buttah :) Thank you again for them!

You know I was noticing from this post that your thrifted pieces appear of such high quality that it would be hard to guess which items were thrifted. You definitely have an eye for lovely quality pieces, my new shoesies being a case in point :D

PS - My daughter has decided your bracelet is the best thing ever. I took it off so she could hold it tonight and she wouldn't give it back, she crawled around clutching it and would stop and hold it up while jingling it and just start laughing. It was SO cute, so thankyou for that too!

Yay, I'm so glad you got the package, that was quick! I'm even more glad that you liked what I thrifted for you!

I've decided that my dream job would be to put together personalized thrift packages for people. How do I make this happen... hmm ;) It really is a lot of fun for me and as you can see I get into decorating the boxes too :)

Isn't that lil' purse the cutest?! If only you could fit more than some cash and a chapstick in it, also I have recently discovered the wonders of shoe bows myself, so I was excited to find those lil' vintage ones for $1 each to pass on the joy :D
