Angel Birkinstocks

These have a funny story..I went to my one of my favorite shoe stores years ago, a fancy schmancy one... and said I want a pair of shoes SO comfy to teach in, so unusual, and if they are related to "Angels" in any way I will flip and do a dance..I need them as a business expense and told him my business name, I'll pay ANY price for comfort...LOL! Oh! my was I in trouble..he brought this box out that said "Think Peace"..and Italian writing...when it's not in English you're in trouble..I flipped when I saw them, tried them on..and that was it..they even have red sculpted hearts on the bottom... I floated across the room!

They are the most expensive shoes I have ever bought, but when I wear them...I can't help but smile..

I wear these sometimes when I teach my ceramic classes, or just when I want to be silly and walk 2 inches above ground! I've had them forever, but they got lost in my closet, I swear those angels play tricks on us..recently I mentioned them and thought I would share...my dear friend even had a purse made and hand painted to match the shoes..I use it for some fun things other than a purse...it's too cute to get messed up~Got any unusual cute shoes to share? LOL
