denver thrift, originally uploaded by Reversible Skirt.

clockwise from top:
- woven straw sun hat and 30s/70s cocktail hat
- Vera silk scarf in pink and sunflower yellow
- chalkware lady and rice blotting paper (not thrifted!)
- crazy woven bead hanging! I am definitely turning it into some kind of jacket/epaulet rig
- intarsia knit patch from the host of the pig roast, who has a huuuge knitting machine and makes blankets/ski hats
- eel pocketbook, python snap wallet, woven earrings, wood earrings, knot earrings
- gray leather Victorian-style shortie cowgirl boots
- brown suede OTK flat boots
- cream tasseled cowgirl boots
- hand-embroidered tablecloth
- vintage wooden and quilted hangers – an obsession
- dark floral new dress with sheer net top, broken zipper
- bill blass gold seahorse swimsuit
- German cuckoo clock! every time I put down my carryon in the airport, a faint “cuckoo” would sound…
- framed gold picture of a Venice boatyard (<3)
- four tiny paintings of scary men
- red dancing t-straps
- tiny wooden owl (I left behind four or five other types of owls! I am running out of shelf space so I have to be very picky).

whew!

most of this was gleaned in two days of thrifting in only three or four stores. courtesy of my little sister for chauffeuring me around very patiently.

thanks be to the ephemera gods for keeping me shod and fancy for under $100.
