May's Second Haul of Antiques and Untiques

Well.

Here we are.  

I did an antiques show on Sunday, made TONS of muns.  Muns.  Money.

And yet we still have awesome awesomeness residing in my Etsy shop.

Wanna see?

First thing is old old old

and also neato neato neato

There's a cherub - or perhaps Dan Cupid - hanging out on the bottom left of the frame.

Green!

May is my favorite month, because it's the month when the Almighty hits one of His almighty buttons, and instantly turns EVERYTHING green.

Something lovely for your collection of Occupied Japan items.

Speaking of lovely, I had the hardest time getting a good picture of this VERY unique candle holder. SOLD

It's Angel Appleseed!

Lastly, but miles and miles away from leastly we have...

 

Chinese 'lily foot' slippers

Originally worn by a woman who - as a young child - had her toes curled under, then pressed with great force downwards and squeezed into the sole of the foot until the toes broke. Then the arch was forcibly broken.  Tighter binding forced the ball of the foot and the heel to meet.

 

Google 'Chinese foot-binding.'  The pictures of what this done to women's feet are horrific.The goal was that women's feet be no longer than 3" from toe to heel.
