Thank you for, above all else, your Love.

You bring us so much Love, in so many countless ways, that we are able to spread it far and wide.
Your Love fills our shop, our hearts, and our souls.
Your Love fills the hearts and souls of those that enter our shop and they carry it with them to the community and world.

We LOVE you.

FINALLY!!!
You asked for it and we have delivered!

It’s a Fitting Room!

That is Lizette. Lizette has her eyes on you as do her angel children looking down from above. Lizette loves her new forever home, but her job is important. She is making sure nobody is up to any funny business!
What funny business you ask? Stealing, that’s what.
Who would steal from a nonprofit?
Who would steal from a small business?
A-Holes, that’s who. It’s terrible, but it’s true.
So.
Lizette is watching.
Don’t make me turn this car around and turn our new fab little fitting room into a storage closet.
Because I’ll do it!

Follow the rules and play nice.
Thanks
Love You! 💗🙌💋

Vintage Justin Roper Collection
late 1980s-1990s
various sizes & colors

*hint* A hot collection of vintage western shirts will be hitting the floor today too! 😉

Today’s DOTD also comes with a Vintage Fashion History lesson.

The origin of the original cowboy roper boot dates back to the 1950s. In the late 40s and early 50s, calf ropers wore baseball caps and tennis shoes. A cap didn’t get in the way of the rope and tennis shoes allowed them to jump off their horse and run fast to the calf. The Rodeo Cowboys Association didn’t like the image and issued a ruling that required proper attire for all rodeo contestants.

It was then that the calf ropers approached John Justin, Jr. asking, “John, we don’t really need that high heel on our boots. Can you make us something different?” After many iterations, Justin remembered an old flat-heeled last called the 9315. The mold was formerly used to construct boots for the Army and the ROTC cadet officers at Texas A&M University. John’s father, H.J. Justin, always preached to his children, “never throw anything away, you never know when you’re going to need something.”

The birth of the roper may not have been possible without H.J. Justin’s wise advice. Since then, the roper has become one of our most popular products of all time.

No, we didn’t install a dance floor.
But maybe we should…. 🤔🧐🤨

This ramp might not look like much, but it is crucial. Those horrible stairs to the donation doors were treacherous at best. Up and Down, Down and Up all the live long day. Murder! Murder on all our backs and knees. Now? Up and Down & In and Out with ease…. 😌

What’s next you say?
Our Installation Window platform (installation coming soon) and… 🎨🖼️💃💅🏻

Wait for it…

Wait for it…

A FITTING ROOM!!!!!!!

And, speaking of doors… New back doors coming soon as well.

BTW
This is Eddie, Eddie is the absolute best! This man makes things happen. If you need a guy that can do a thing, let me know.

Just a peek as to what’s going on at the shop.
Getting ready for the BIG weekend.
