a really good friend of mine was traveling through the southeast on a work trip a couple weeks ago and found and bought these for me! they are so totally freakin' awesome. i luv, luv, luv them. thanks pee. you are the best! what a hawk eye.
so i've used a bit of scrap tissue paper that came in my French General package the other day to try my hand a paper flowers. i didn't do too bad. i took this pic for a friend of mine who wanted to see the boots i was talking about wearing for the wedding if i couldn't afford (which i can't!) the day of the dead boots. a really good friend of mine bought these for me years ago at a thrift shop hoping the would fit me and they did. i wear them all the time and they look cute with shortish skirts. i stuck the flower in there to show her what she would be helping me do closer to the date. fold and poof, fold and poof, fold and poof.
oh how i love these. they break my heart. i've thought about these beauties ever since i saw them last year when planning a trip to New Mexico. i went to NM for a conference but the only thing i wanted to do was go to this boot shop, Back at the Ranch. they have the most unbelievable designs. they make you want to cry. not inexpensive but certainly a source of inspiration. when we decided that we would finally get married and i began thinking about what things inspire me, these were the first things that popped into my mind. i like boots! when i tried to explain that i needed a pair of wedding boots to my beloved, i was met with a blank stare and "wedding boots? would you like to tell me what wedding boots are?" some people will just never understand.
