    Hooded driers

    I have a hat box style one, hooded dryer, I absolutely love mine. It was NWT at a local antique ball that the booth was closing. It was in a box of random junk for 5 dollars. I left the box of junk and told them I would just throw it out when I left. I think it is from the 60's at the latest.

    Saddle shoes

    Good luck w/ the soles on them! Mine cracked right in half on the front sole. Bass refuses to do anything about it, even though it happened in the first 30 days of wearing them!

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    I have about 8 pairs of vintage cat eyes and one pair of late 40's glasses. I only have my script in one pair. I need a new place to put my script in the other ones, My normal place wants almost $200 to do it. Way too much in my opinion.

    Saddle shoes

    Bought them in may. I hope I can take them to a shoe repair place and have new soles put on. An extra cost but they are worthless as is.
