The fun things we find -

[amandainvermont]

I thought I’d share two items I picked up somewhere along the line that make me chuckle and I will list them tomorrow. The first is a novelty “patriotic” tuxedo shirt. Upon close inspection, I see it is actually an “After Six” shirt that someone then added the flag/tie embellishments. And it’s done professionally. The tag is “Quackers Design, Texas.” Just kind of fun.

And then there’s this pair of bling pumps. The 70’s? Any key words for these silly things?

Anyone else want to share odd ball treasures they have found while out on the hunt?

Neat shirt, Amanda. Is Quackers the one who also does sweaters??

The shoes look 70s to me but I am no expert. What about bejewled or bedazzled. (I been watching too many infomercials. )

I believe Quacker Factory is something to do with the TV channel that sells clothes. (TVC?) The few Quacker Factory items I have purchased have always been very ... bling-types. - lots of sequins, etc. This Quacker Design is more a crafts person. Thanks for the keywords for the shoes.

Those shoes SO make me think of <strike>Esmerelda</strike>, from Bewitched! :D

Doh!! NOT Esmerelda -- Endora! Samantha's mom

Marty - thanks (and Linda) for the suggestions. I just came back to this thread as I work on the description. Oh - and Quacker Factory is QVC (duh). I never watch any of those channels.
