Holidays 2012/2013: "The Root Of Evil" (PART 3)


While most shoppers were looking for deals the Saturday following Christmas, we made our rounds at area thrift shops to look for film wardrobe. '40s Caxton Beaver Twenty once again.



we found and bought seven vintage overcoats, a vintage ladies' outfit, and a couple pairs of vintage ladies' shoes at this Goodwill, but no hats of merit.



Snow flurries with blue skies and a brilliant sun, accompanied by warmer temps.






On to the next thrift shop.



A pair of very nice vintage ladies' overcoats with I.L.G.W.U. tags. The blue wool example will be used for the big snow scene in a few days time.



Dropping by John's shop later on in the afternoon.



Beautiful violin by Joseph Bassot, Paris, 1773.



Evaluating an exquisite violin bow by Pierre Simon, Paris, ca. 1870.

Visiting my old friend Bob at his Battlefield Store to source some old military ski goggles for our film.



Finally, a little downtime, with an early supper at Himalayan in Minneapolis.



A change of attire, and on to the Ordway to catch "Elf: The Musical". '40s Stetson St. Regis Homburg.









Hungry again after the show, we decided to head over to one of our favorite late night eateries in St. Paul...



Mickey's. Thank goodness for 24-hour diners. This is the Highland Park location which is less crowded, the pace less hurried, and the food not as greasy as their iconic dining car downtown.

Che, Teach, Cattus, Rogera - thanks for the comments guys. Bob at Black Sheep makes some super hats.

Cattus - Bob has a whole bunch of creative liners for his hats, including several variations of the girly one. You can check out his stuff at the black Sheep site.

Alan - did you get the liner you posted in a hat or was someone selling it as a separate item?

Ebay auction photo from one of ScottF's recent sales of old westerns. A big furry felted non-Stetson. Not mine, but I hope we will see more pictures of it here.
