Another Shoe Post

Hello!
I do not believe I have ever shown off my amazing, custom hand painted shoes from Alexandra.
Allow me-



Are those unique or what? I got her to fashion the little paintings after some of Helen's designs.
(Because I own the little bird earrings and a tiny lovebirds ring from her. And I LOVE them. )

In other news, I have been on the ball with slipper-making this week.

That one blue background picture with all those green ones is feeling a little lonely. However, it's a better photo all around, so it doesn't mind too much.


Now, I would like to share with you a photo that absolutely made my night when I saw it.
From a super-awesome buyer:

"Your description of the slippers made me think I would love to illustrate that."

Is that just the coolest thing or what?! It makes me soooo happy!
I've gotten a couple of appreciation photos before. They all rock, but this one SO takes the cake!
So, I think I'm off to read a little, and maybe make more brown Elfin Slippers.
Happy Wednesday!
Caitlin

  4. Thanks! I like the way you spell doggeh, heehee. his name is Zazz. We also have a long face pooch named Soup. She's a papillon mix. I think there's a pic of her also in one of my entries, or at least on my flickr page.
    I have 5 necklaces completely strung and ready to go. I just have to string five more, all my beads are made. I had to order more stringing thimble things for the ends though. I only have enough for three more necklaces.

    Also I LOVE those shoes! and I love your slippers! And that pic the customer sent you is probably the best appreciation photo ever! It should be a print! I would totally want it pinned up somewhere in my house.

  7. No story behind the name Soup, just came out of my boyfriends mouth. :) And Zazz is from an episode of Metalacalypse, haha.
    Ravioli is an awesome name for a kitty!
