People who get all excited about fancy cars have never had shoes like THESE!

$15.00 at a consignment shop! Don't adjust your screen: those are 5 inch heels! ;)



They're Steve Madden, too; normally I don't care much about labels, but I hate it when secondhand shops charge you $12-$15 bucks for a cheap department store brand I could have bought on clearance for half as much.

ETA: since my Flist seem to be a knowledgable, learned bunch, I thought I would pose you all a question. I bought these shoes from a chain of secondhand stores called Plato's Closet. Does anyone know WTF the name means? Is it a reference I'm not getting? Is there a passage in the Republic where Plato sells one of his old togas for cash?

To keep this post from being completely shallow, a plea to all the audiobook fans!

I have an Audible.com membership, and I get a free download every month. What should I go for this month? I always have a hard time deciding. So tell me: is there something out new that I should check out? An old favorite that's simply amazing? HELP!

Tea sets! I can't wait until I have a house of my own and room to collect all of the weird, wonderful stuff I love, like tea sets.

Why yes, my aspiration is to be one of those crazy cat ladies who has to be dug out from under an avalance of knick knacks when she dies, why do you ask?? ;)

Haha, it's my first tea set! I'm so proud. And the coolest thing is that it's Spode, this awesome English brand, and supposedly it's from around the 1800s...I paid 8 bucks for it :). Now it sits all pretty in my cabinet.

Nothing wrong with that, hee :)
