Piles and Piles

I photographed a stockpile of things yesterday, all of which I found this weekend when I went thrift shopping in Helena. I took a snapshot of everything to document what I purchased, so I figured why not post the photos here to share?

Vintage Moccasins and red Justin granny lace ups

both of the above are made in brazil. To the left is a pair of Quali Craft heels, leather with wood soles

To the right are some tall campus equestrian boots leather tops and a stacked leather heel

Here's some designer finds. Tony Lama boots and a Coach bag

An antique pharmaceutical crate, and a cropped mini wool coat with a large sheepskin/ shearling collar

Gold Lame peep toe heels, and a bunch of crocheted gloves

a cover for a triangular stool, bought because the tooling is really neat and unique

Well that's most of it, but not even everything. I also bought a mint condition hudson blanket, a handful of tooled leather belts(including a Tony Lama one) a 70's sears bathing suit, a leather ammo case from the 50s, and a 40's woven basket purse.

Wow looks like the majority of the things I bought are shoes. Really though I didn't plan that, shoes aren't my favorites or anything. When I go into 2nd hand stores I look for anything wood, leather, wool, or silk. These materials are dollar signs because they aren't synthetic and usually mean they're well made, high quality, and old.  Apparently this time around, most of the wood/leather found was in the form of footwear!
