thought for the day


I think it is my duty
to share these pictures
of embroidered boots.


I really want a pair of these boots
even though I am sure that I would not
be brave enough to wear them.


There is an H.E.Bates short story
which haunted me as a teenager
about a woman who had a wardrobe
full of extravagant ball gowns
that she looked at but never wore.


Have I become that woman?

  1. I don't know anyone who would wear them and I'm not sure it has anything to do with bravery.

    They are beautiful boots! LOL - I would buy a pair with every intention of wearing them. Might even put them on - but then probably take them off again before leaving the house. ~~~sigh~~~ - sometimes bravery has to be built up to.

  5. Wow! where are they from? Gorgeous & I love them. Just think of wearing them as a public service in cheering up a British winter :-)

  6. ... you could always wear them in the house when you arrange your blue and white china on vintage chopping boards?

    They're fab.
