Lovely....

At last, I made up my mind to showcase few more items at the Midnight Sale tonight. If you are up to complete your 50s or 60s look with a vintage-looking hat, here is one that you would probably love to have:

Gail Fedora Hat (SOLD)

I will also be featuring the feathered hair-combs fresh from my oven just today!

When Works Are In Progress, The House Is In A Mess

I have not been updating my blog, but I have been brewing some things in my pot. Trust me, I have been working real hard on this "project" that I hope to bring a little more fun to you this Sunday at Lapsap Junkyard Sale BBQ.  Just look at the mess I have made on the floor.  

The water is boiling hot and some things are brewing in the pot.  Check back tomorrow and I shall let you have the pleasure of taking a sneak peek into my magic pot. 

12 Hours Later.........

Hi there, I am back as promised.  So are you ready to peep into my magic pot now? Okay, here you go:  

Step 1. Close your eyes.  Focus your mind on the goody (one item at a time, please) that you wish to see in my magic pot.

Step 2. Now open your eyes and cast this spell:

" Goddess of Moon, Earth, and The Sea, grant me my wish and I shall remember to give as I received"

"Ta-dah!!!"

"This one is called Kenji"

You: "Just one item??"  

Me: "Err....ya, didn't I say focus your mind one item at a time?" 

You: "*&^%*OI+%$#!!!"

Me: "Okay, okay, cool down, I..I..I'll come back to you later ok?"

You: "&^%$**<....*&^%$&&*.......<&!!#$%.."

Me: "Okay, okay, I'll be back"

Another 30 Hours Later.....

Knock knock, anyone there?  It's me, I'm back.  Are you ready for the excitement? Okay, here you go:

Step 1. Scroll up the page.  Repeat Step 1.

Step 2. Open your eyes and cast this spell:

" Goddess of Moon, Earth, and The Sea, grant me my wish and I shall come to Lapsap Junkyard Sale BBQ at Palate Palette tomorrow"

"Ta-dah!"

"Feathered Headband that is!"

Okay, the ritual is over.  I really spent time on all these stuffs.  I would not claim that every piece is an art, but every effort comes from the heart.  

So do drop by my corner at the junkyard sale tomorrow to say hi.  After all, you promised to give as you received, didn't you? Hee.hee..

Time: 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

How Do I Thank Thee? Let Me Count The Ways

Honestly, other than Thank You, I do not know what else to say to those of you who dropped by my humble corner at Lapsap BBQ Junkyard Sale yesterday just to say Hi or to Buy.  All of you have made my day.  

It's truly a courage to know that so many of you love the hats.  One nice young lady had given so much compliments on the hats and whoever you are, my utmost thanks to you.

I was exhausted, but was truly grateful for everything.  Hopefully I would have the chance to thank you all in-person again.

Pre-Used, Pre-Owned, Pre-Loved at Lapsap BBQ Junkyard Sale

I will be setting up a corner at Lapsap BBQ Junkyard Sale this Sunday to sell off some of my pre-USED, pre-OWNED, and pre-LOVED items. In actual fact, most of the items that I will be selling are pre-OWNED and pre-LOVED, but not pre-USED. In short, the items are mostly BRAND NEW.

So why do I want to sell off these clothes and bags that were never been worn then? Eh..the answer is simple, Impulsive Buy.

Impulsive buying is a common consumer behavior and all of us shop impulsively every now and then. Err....don't we?

We tend to shop impulsively under certain circumstances like:

1. When we aspire to be a certain celebrity

2. When we fall in love

3. When we fall out of love

4. When we are distressed

5. When the Shop Assistant is too nasty

6. When the Shop Assistant is too nice

7. When there is a SALE

8. When it's payday

9. ...the list goes on

So do come by and have a look at my Impulsive Buy this Sunday at Palate Palette. I will not be selling any of the items that I have posted on my blog titled "Shoes..in Loving Memory" (http://shoeloft.blogspot.com/2008/09/shoesin-loving-memory.html) there because those are my treasures. However, I will be happy to bring over the items if any of you would like to have a look at them. Just need to let me know beforehand.

Candy Bangles

Tiffany Fedora Hat (SOLD)

I will also be selling the original Goods of Desire (GOD) handbags and wallets that I carried back from Hong Kong. All items are only available in one piece. GOD is a brand founded in Hong Kong and their much acclaimed designs have won them many designing awards throughout the years. Take a peek at their brand concept and products at http://www.god.com.hk .

See you on Sunday!

All Items Above Will Be Available At:

Lapsap BBQ Junkyard Sale

Date: Oct 12, 2008

Venue: Palate Palette (Please click http://palatepalette.com for direction)

Shoes...in Loving Memory

The shoes and bags shown on this blog are my personal collections. The shoes are genuine vintage, but Brand New (never been worn). Most of these shoes' upper and sole are dried out. Some of these shoes' cuttings are also too narrow to be worn. Therefore, I would only recommend you to use them as display items in your vintage shop, as collectibles, or as decorative items to suit your vintage decor.

I would keep updating this blog as and when so do check back often. All prices shown exclude shipping and handling cost. Prices are non-negotiable because the shoes are genuine Vintage but not replica or reproduction (unless otherwise specified).

Please feel free to drop me a note at shoeloft@hotmail.com if you need further descriptions of the items or if you would like to loan them for styling purposes.
