Firstly I wanted to say a big thanks to the lovely wishes I received from you yesterday re my face, I'm on medication now, and I think I slightly over estimated western medicine and expected to wake up this morning pain and puff free. No, but I think these things take time.
Anyway your wishes meant a lot.
This week's theme for My Place and Yours is one dear to my heart. Shoes. thanks Gypsy I've once before expressed some of my views on shoes but heres a more broad look. Firstly I will say I have tiny feet and it's pretty hard for me to find shoes I like in my size (size 5) I often have to wear insoles to make them fit.
While I don't have a huge collection of shoes, what I have I love and I mean really love and wear to death. I'm not a huge believer of new shoes, it's not something that excites me, rather I dread the death of an old pair and starting again with a new pair. I will only buy new shoes when I absolutely have to. And even then I feel mean or worried about how my old ones will feel, being replaces thrown out, discarded, when they've served me so well. When i bought some boots for winter last year, I worried about how my Connies would feel if I didn't wear them as much.
Perhaps pictures will display is better than my ramblings.
Only last week my favourite summer shoes, my old school shoes bit the dust. The sad truth is, this is not the first time this has happened, I have stuck them together 3 times myself and last time took them to shoe repairer ( you should have seen the look I got.) And even this time I was tempted to try again .... ( So now my answer is to keep them, these totally unwearable shoes, just so they won't be upset and live in some sort of denial)

And then there are my connies, my favourite sort of shoe, but these babies ( once bright yellow) have a bit more in them yet.... I'm waiting till that hole gets bigger and gravel and water starts to come into the shoe.
And then Wally and Bruce, my reindeer slippers...
Let's wait and see what I can do to these babies...

Holy crap I have tears in my eyes from laughter...!!!
Not that I mean to laugh at you, or your shoes... but the state of your poor reindeer...!
I LOVE your yellow cons... I want some! But I shall only have them if they turn up in my size, in good nick at an oppy I happen to be at... me thinks it's not goint to happen. That might be just a once in a lifetime thing and I got my quota already with my current pink pair!
Thanks for playing... loved it!
I love the journey of your shoes
Your shoes are definitely well loved. I have the opposite problem - my foot is WAAAAY too big. I have had to start getting shoes made. Matt can even wear my shoes. That is not a good thing.
