look at those cat eyes


 I thought it would be fun to share my vintage cat eye glasses with you, to give you a little glimpse of me! I purchased these about 7 years ago, and they were a perfect fit! I think they were waiting ever so patiently in the store for me! They have become my staple, and are pretty much glued to my face, permanently. Ha, not really! ;)


I love the pretty shooting stars on them, and how they sparkle in the sunshine! The curves on the sides make them so comfortable. I wish I could have 10 more for backup, or even in different colors like red, grey, aqua, and green. Ooh, that would be fun!!  


 Sometimes when I am out and about, a sweet older lady will look at them and smile, and I always wonder, were these hers? I would have loved to met the lady who wore these ever so proudly, as I do today, and will be for a very long time!!

    Love these! I have a friend who wants pair so I alwys keep my eyes out for them. Did you have much trouble getting your prescription lenses to fit them?

      Thanks! I don't have trouble, the only thing is you have to sign a waiver, that if they break them when putting new lenses in, I am liable, not them. But, that has never happened, thank goodness!! ;) xo Heather

    Cool!
    My grandma had some cat-eye glasses with 'diamonds' in them... or so we kids thought they were diamonds.

    I love whenever someone just is happy with who they are! Gives us all the freedom to be who we want to be and feel good about it!

    I say.. keep wearing the glasses, and stay sassy :)

    Whew! You didn't torture us by showing more things you're working on for your shop today. I'll be able to stand it for a few more days. LOL

    (True confession: I recently sold my mom's perfect condition cat eye glasses on etsy! They really did not look good on me, so someone else is enjoying them.)

      No, don't worry, I won't torture you today, maybe tomorrow! ;) I tell you, weaving in the crochet ends, really takes time! But I am getting there!! Oh, how lovely! I would have loved to see your mom's glasses!! I am sure that someone is wearing them proudly!! ;) xo Heather

      Thank you so much! They do have prescription lenses in them!! When you get the lenses in them, I have to sign a waiver that they are not liable for them since they are vintage, in the case they break them, but I am glad that has never happened. I would be devastated! ;) xo Heather

    The glasses are great! Daughter number 2 who wear vintage and thift store finds all the time, asked for a pair for Christmas. There is an online store that will put your eye glass prescription into a vintage pair of eye glasses. She loves them.

    Thanks for following my blog! I love looking at the number of followers as it grows!
