Of course I did.

I got a new pair of shoes for the '20s party last night - some modern wingtips. I needed a new pair of dress shoes anyway, and while these are more formal than I normally wear, it was good to complete the outfit. The party was fabulous and I had a great time dressing up and seeing friends dressed up in ways I normally don't see them. I got several compliments on my vintage '20s vest and jacket. I've never owned a vest before, so I wasn't entirely comfortable in it. It fits fine; I'm just not used to being confined like that. The only down note was accidentally popping a jacket button because I forgot to unbutton before sitting on a couch. Oops. (The jacket was that comfortable, not that I am pushing the size.) The wife spent the last week sewing a new outfit for herself and looked really good - especially with her vintage fur drape.
The inevitable fate of shoeboxes when you have a cat, of course, is that the cat decides that I got it just for him.

There's a heating vent near where the paper is, so it tends to be both warm and satisfyingly crinkly to her. We fluff the paper up a couple of times a week so she can have fun oppressing it all over again.
