I love shoes...


Love them...(even though I get stuck in the habit of wearing the same ones every day-I am guilty of wearing a fave pair of yellow leather zipper flats everyday for about 3 months...) The pile above (complete with a pair of klompen that I bought in an garage attic workspace near Kinderdijk, Netherlands-I often wear these to take out the trash...) is small compared to the massive shelf in the closet filled with 3 inchers, rock and roll rain boots, teal wedges, patent reds, and "Dynasty" flip flops... I seriously have the best shoes. But I have a new fave...

My amazing brother had this fantastic pair made for me for Christmas! The right shoe is my first name-with my current yummy Ovation (it smells like baby dolls!) and the left shoe is my last name-with a gorgeous Henna Luna. The back....

has "Clocks" with the TAB for, yes, Coldplay's Clocks. (Clocks is a shared love of B's and mine...for multiple reasons...) These were made by one of his students-an extremely talented 14 year old-and this was his first commissioned piece. From what I hear, he was very nervous during the reveal-he REALLY wanted his cool guitar teacher to like them! He did, and I was thrilled...and cried a bit. The best part?
The graffiti... ;)
