Oh dear, oh dear! I just bought a house and ergo should probably not be looking at shoes. Maybe just one pair of 1940’s style wedgies to match my 1940’s era house?
See more new designs with vintage styling at Remix vintage shoes – the website can be challenging to navigate, but with keen shoes like these, you can forgive them.
This photo shows President Obama and Michelle Obama escorting former President Bush and Laura Bush to their helicopter following the inauguration.
I believe this is a day of hope for the United States and the world. And this morning I was particularly struck by something we may take for granted in this country – the peaceful transition from one leader to the next.
In the words of President Obama: “Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.”
And on a lighter note, I am delighted by the First Lady’s unique color choices – yellow dress, green gloves and teal shoes!
I’ve had designs on these for a few months, walking by every morning on my way to work, gazing at them through the window.
Thank you, John Fluevog, for creating these and then deeply discounting them just for me.

I like what happens when people mash up creative disciplines and blur the lines between them.
The exhibition Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting, currently at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, showcases some provocative work to challenge our ideas of what craft is. Anyone seen this show? The limited edition publications KnitKnit also explored some intersections between craft and art. And maybe you’ve seen the work of street artists like Knitta and their clandestine knit tagging.
Now what about things we can wear. I’m thinking a unique wrap or accessory of some kind. There are scores of unflattering hats and uninspired scarfs on Etsy. But here are a few more interesting finds.
Look how hip and sexy this lacy layering business is on Argentinean singer Juana Molina. Maybe someone will crochet one of these for you.
On the whimsical side, Twinkie Chan’s foodie scarves are super fun.
I love the wraps that Las Lopez Las create, incorporating weaving, knit, crochet and embroidery. I want this cobweb thing!
