Ok, ok.... so I'm still stuck on the pink shoes we wore in my sister's wedding. They are So freakin' cute!
I hope to resume my shoe hoarding posts to normal soon.
However, today's post is special.
~BECAUSE~
IT'S MY GRAND OPENING!!
I have joined Etsy to bring you The Scarlett Rose Garden Shop.
"A mixed bouquet of vintage fashoin & handmade goods."
Shoes are my main focus right now.
WANT SOME CANDY?!
These are some of the shoes that I have listed, or am getting ready to list.
They are either vintage or embellished.
When I got married over 8 years ago, I searched high and low for Marie Antoinette style shoes. I burned my eyes out on the internet and could only find shoes for $200 or more. I ended up finding a black pair in a thrift store, and I "reupholstered" them with the fabric from my wedding dress.
Today, they are still hard to find. There is really only one shoe that shows up for retail, and it runs between $50 and $70. And yet, the heel is too spikey and not so 18th century looking.
So I have decided to alter shoes to resemble colonial and victorian times, or a mixture of modern day with the past.
I'm having fun with it.
It has kept me quite busy lately!
And that vintage pink baby scale I showed you recenlty? It will come in handy to weigh things for shipping! Cool, eh?
You can click on the photos to enlarge them, or if you would like to view my listings please click www.scarlettrosegarden.etsy.com
I would love to hear from my fellow blogger friends who have Etsy shops as well!
Wish me luck!
*please note: if searching sellers for The Scarlett Rose Garden on etsy, leave off the "THE"*

Hey Nikki! I'm so excited to visit your etsy shop! I love the heels on Marie Antoinette shoes--they really need to come back in style. I too have a shop--there's a link to it in the side bar of my blog. Have fun with etsy! It's a great little community!
Hello...such lovely shoes...I love the greeny ones in the last picture..I could be very happy wearing those!
Have a great weekend..xxx
Many good wishes with the success of your Etsy Shoppe!!
Shoes??? Your shoes are 2die4...
Our daughter is our resident "shoe maven". I am constantly tripping over them. Question??? Why does one person need so many shoes & purses?? I guess it is her "thing"!!
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Love,
Marilyn
Ooh, good luck with this, Nikki! It's such an unusual item and will probably fill its own niche! good for you!
Justine :o )
Good wishes and may abounding success come your way! The shoes are great and I can tell you are having a lot of fun tweaking them. I always have trouble finding heels. Ya see my tiny foot has not grown since the fifth grade. Mama always tole me with each child my foot would grow. Mama lied. I still have Pygmy feet.
May blessed success come your way
and have just the best weekend!
Nikki, good luck with your etsy site! I have one for my jewelry, which I need to add more to this weekend! It is a great experience!
Good luck Nikki !! I think your shoes are lovely and should do well xxx
I love them all. You are going to be a huge success and one day we will say we knew her when...
Good Luck

I LOVE the pumpkin pie shoes and would buy them as I wear a 7.5/8 as well but I can't stand shoes that are tight. I'm gonna go cry now because I really love them :(
Love your collection, you hoarder you :)
I have been collecting Irregular Choice shoes for about 2 years. Nothing beats a good collection or better yet a good deal!
