What is it with the female sex and shoes? Why are so many girls obsessed with collecting shoes? They just cover our feet! I don't get it - that doesn't mean I don't like shoes though. I don't have many pairs of heels , just the ones from my wedding and a pair of basic black ones, but here's my shoe love......
I love myself a new pair of $2 thongs (flip flops/jandals - whatever!) every summer.
I was very very pleased when I found a pair of bright orange Dunlop Volleys on clearance and in my size a few years back.
When my brother made me these I was over the moon, and only wore them inside so as not to wreck them for months!

I love the look of thongs and bare feet so much that I had my foot decorated to make it work even more (artwork and inkwork again by my extraordinarily talented brother Mark Sender)
A good pair of socks is also worth noting here.... and I've just finished my first hand crocheted pair!! YAY! (they're not as great as I'd hoped, now I'm trying to learn to knit socks....)
But this week, I bought the best pair of shoes I own.......
Perfect for splashing in puddles, feeding the chooks, digging in the garden or walking up to the shop to check the mail - and only $20! Bargain!! :)
Ah yes, I too share your love of gumboots....honestly would live in them if it wasn't considered SO odd to clop clop into the supermarket like a rubber horse lol Awesome crochet socks! I knitted a pair of socks under the guidance of my Nan but she neglected to tell me to use 2 ply (sock wool) and they came out so big even my size 13 husband finds them quite roomy!!! I now have a sock loom to knit socks :) They are an artform but do take a great deal of practice if you want to knit them in the round or on four needles - don't ever fall for someone telling you they have the "easiest"sock pattern....if it has a heel it will not be easy lol
