The Shoe Fits

TOMS has given over 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in need since their start in 2006. Their strategy is simple, for every pair of shoes you buy, a pair goes to a child in need. TOMS has plans to give 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in 2009. How cool is that?

All Dolled Up

This past weekend while shopping vintage at my favorite thrift shop, in Michigan, I found these little darlings. They are kind of creepy but also charming, familiar, and a wee bit sweet.

Dig It?

If you heart thrift stores, consignment shops, and/or pulling items from friend's closets, check out Dig N' Swap. Dig N' Swap was created as a solution to ever expanding wardrobes and the need to be kinder to our environment.

Could trading be the new currency? Give it a try.

It's in the Cards :: part 2

I hate to play favorites, but here are a few more cards that I really like from my vintage playing card collection. These cards are fun even when they are not being used for games. I am curious to know:

1. What things do you like to collect? Why?
2. What are the unconventional places or items that you find inspirational?
   

You can find more vintage playing cards on the HEYSUSY blog, check em' out!
