It ALMOST feels like cheatin:) No, not really! I love saving steps and refashioning is a BIG help in that department!
Happy Thursday!

The winning number,  picked by my darlin lil' Goose
IS
The number 3

YAY WhoHOOO!!
Congratulations Frenchy on your history making win:)
YOU will forever be MY very FIRST "from the VINTAGE VAULT" winner. Guess that means I'll have to keep giving things away so you will have some company (grin) I would also like to thank the rest of you who became followers and/or left comments. I am looking forward to getting to know you all a little better!!

And now for my latest adventure..

My lil Goose received a BAG full of goodies. And then some that were not. This was a not so goodie. Now it is better I think. What is your opinion???
I know this pic isn't ALL that, but I wanted you to see the gold coloring.That is the original color of the shoe inside and out.
 This is the color they are now.

I had to cover the little button on the side because the original fabric was coming off of it. Plus some other places, which is why I was repainting them to begin with.

If you look at the front shot of the shoe you can see the gold/pearl bead detail on  the "strap" too. Right now only one of the buttons is covered. Still have one to go. All I did was basic. Spray paint and then Acrylic Sealer( Which EXPLODED on me BTW) I thought I was going to "Seal" the entire neighborhood!! And then I attempted to make a rosette HA...I am NOT sure what to call this but it In NO WaY resembles a rosette. OhhhWeelllll. So what do you think??? They probably won't be Sunday Morning Shoes...But MayBE Wednesday Nights???
Thanks for waiting sooo patiently for this post. I will do better I promise!!!
 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock,and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.              Ps. 18:1,2 KJV

Happy Monday!!
