... and my lovely custom pendant from Etsy. The little tap-shoes are what I always wear round my neck, I kept them on because I think they go well together.
Judy at Arts & Charms had a great array of very tempting pendants but when I saw she could customise, I immediately enquired about a tap-themed one. This image is a signed publicity still of Fred & Ginger, which I found on Flickr (I think). Also, I hesitate to say this, because I sent her a link to this post, but the pendant was outrageously inexpensive and even Fixit (Mister-how-much-did-that-cost) was gobsmacked and asserted he was expecting it to have been around 4 times dearer. I think she could, and should, charge more for her lovely work.And wait! There's more! It's reversible!
Hmmm, am I feeling in a Fred or Gene mood today?
Great purchases - everyone needs to splurge once in a while.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pendant. Don't you just love Etsy?! My daughter would love it too, as she's just started tap this term (as have I! Bought my shoes this week, so much fun).
ReplyDeleteThe pendant is of course wonderful, but what I really envy is the shirt. It reminds me of the ads I used to find in the backs of comic books, promising great riches in the graphic arts if one could copy the little picture of Stuffee the Squirrel.
ReplyDeleteThe pendant is just gorgeous. Etsy is fantastic (and I don't say that just 'cos I sell there).
ReplyDeleteHow could you resist? They were obviously made for you!
ReplyDeleteIf you plan on wearing that shirt to the Miss Caroline school of dance be sure to change the price!
ReplyDeleteIts hardly your fault, I mean the shops practically came to you...
ReplyDeleteI love it all.
Etsy , a procrastinators heaven.
Very cool.
ReplyDeleteSo...are you offering those tap lessons for 25c? Or is that only if you look like Fred and/or Ginger?
How gorgeous your body looks in that top - what I can see of it!
ReplyDeleteI adore the anticipation that goes with finding, selecting, buying and waiting for an Etsy purchase - as you must have done with that very excellent pendant.
They both clearly fall into the irresistible category - that is the problem with/brilliance of etsy, you can find the perfect match(es) for any passion. Did you choose the pics for the pendant yourself?
ReplyDeleteBtw, surely they could be tax write-offs? ;) Business advertising??
Lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteI could spend several fortunes on Etsy.
Good for you! A little splurge now and again does wonders for the soul. IMHO. And such great finds!
ReplyDeleteI love the label you put on this post, and am looking forward to future HL posts!! Oh YUM.
Eventually, that Tshirt will wear out, because they do, you know.
ReplyDeleteBetter go get another one quickly!
That pendant is dee vine! Love the shirt too. Splurges are good for the soul. J.T. was just dancing outside under the sprinkler doing: "Singing in the Rain", only without Gene's finesse.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it's not real money if you spend it through the internet! That would be virtual money - which is oh-so-different.
ReplyDeleteGreat purchases!
Beautiful pendant, and love the shirt!
ReplyDeleteAnd Hugh Laurie...YES!
Heidi
All very jolly.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a little extravagant spend from time to time - especially if it doesn't actually cost much.
I love the tank top - I can so see you wearing that with pride!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteYou can either be in a Fred OR a Gene mood.
Very cool shirt. It would have been deprivation of the highest order for you to not get that shirt, being the Tap Queen and all. I love Hugh Laurie in the old Blackadder tapes!
ReplyDeleteOh so lovely ( and yes, I checked out the prices on that link - ooh la la ! .. tempt-ting ! )
ReplyDeleteEveryone should be allowed to splurge a little every now and then.
Tell Fixit a Happy Wife is a Happy Life :p
Oh they're both great!
