While shopping with friends in Port Townsend, WA, I was admiring the above slippers. I decided to pass on them because I knew Steve would not like them. Not that I can’t be myself, but I decided the price tag was a little high for me to go home and be snickered at.
But my friend Cindi bought them for me secretly! Now this was PERFECT… I could have the slippers, but could tell Steve my crazy friend Cindi gave them to me as a gift.
Once home, I pulled them out of my suitcase and held them up to Steve. True to the script, his eyebrows raised. He seemed visibly relieved when I told him that Cindi had given them to me, and even said “cute”.
Postscript: I had them on this morning and was getting ready to drive Wes to school. Wes said, “You’re not going to wear those ridiculous shoes, are you?”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! His father’s son. Anyway, I love my new slippers.

oh, I love them too. Keep an eye on them or I’ll send my gremlins after them!
Do you remember what shop they were in?? tee hee!
ok, not that i don’t like them as slippers, but i can’t help but want to turn them into hand puppets with big wide eyes and long eyelashes with the rose as her mouth. she could be a funky caberet singer with a peacock feather in her hair…
have fun wearing them…
Well, remember, even though Wes is a young aspiring artist, and your husband loves you, neither has the true artist’s heart like you do! Rock on in those slippers!
I think they deserve to be worn in the real world – not just as slippers, they are far too glamerous. Megan.
I don’t know what is cooler, the slippers or the surface she is standing on! 🙂
those are wonderful!
I would wear these slippers everywhere…they’re too cool for words!
What wonderful slippers and so colorful! I love them and am so happy that your friend got them for you. Very nice. 🙂
