Cute zine

Last September I read some zines my daughter had ordered from a girl named Katie who lives in the Philadelphia area and writes about yard and rummage sales she goes to with her mother. I liked them so much that my daughter gave me some for Christmas. Katie's website is www.thelalatheory.com and she also sells her zines on Etsy.

The table of shoes had a few good items on it but none were as sweet and pretty as these pristine leather pumps in a size 6. Forest green, with a pointy toe and a slender but not-high heel. They're from the 80s and have clearly been worn once at the most; they're perfect. At first I went into denial and danced around cramming my size 6.5-7 feet into them, then tried to convince myself it wouldn't be a big deal if my toes hurt constantly every time I wore them. But no, I remembered, such suffering is unnecessary. I could still take the little shoes home with me, I didn't have to leave them there - when things are this perfect I can't just leave them - and maybe even get some money for them.
