Hang 10

hang 10 is a new feature here on smashing rubbish to make a quick chronicle of 10 things/items/experiences/people/places that i am loving, wanting to remember, and share with you!

1. new find: vintage french boudoir doll head found in kalama on my way to bend, or.  "why you call me princess leia?!"

2. the drawstring pouches i am making for the the reopening/moving party at m&m antiques in monroe.  i am vendor #73 and the first 20 lucky folks in the door will get a nice hefty bag full of goodies from each vendor. these recycled linen and muslin pouches will contain chocolates and whatnots.

Bling Sneakers!

you guessed it!
these are my metallic gold l.a.gear sneakers i scored at the freemont sunday market on mother's day, with suze and natasha, for $5!
it was righteous!

these beautiful embroidered flowers, from an old stained tablecloth that kirsten gave me to chop up, are covering the l.a.gear logo/branding.  just used fabric glue.
just perfectly!

haven't decided what/which laces, if any, i will weave in...

these are just so super comfy.
plus you know i can't resist the metallics.
remember the gold metallic bag i made from a mini skirt i found in nashville?!
and the metallic silver oxfords i purchased for a tune last winter?
lurve me some metallic friends!

maybe i'll wear these to crossfit! 
yeah!  that would be the shiz!

i bet i could surpass my 180lb dead lift with these super power sneakers on! 
ha!
i'm gonna try it and let ya know!

guess i'll be needing some laces!
xoxoxo
