in the haze of morning sickness blergy i failed to mention that i won Colour Me There's, Colour Me Happy rainbow theme craft challenge with my diy doll house craft room. i got around to using my Kawaii Kids voucher last week, and quick as you like these cool-as Saltwater sandals arrived from Australia. they were a bit of a hit. claud tap danced in 'em around the kitchen singing "neeeew sandals, neeeeew sandals, red onnnnnnes, red onnnnnes" for ages. there is no better recommendation really.
as for me, i'm back at the lollysticks for a further installment of dollhousemania. i've been at it a year now you know *blushes*. i think it's true love.
happy long weekend kiwis x
do you love it when people use song title for posts? i do, especially when they do it in a pop-quiz serial fashion. i LOVE quizzes. do you?
A deserving winner if ever there was one. Love the sandals on Claude, not me though - I think they'd make me look frumpy/matronly.
ReplyDeleteNow I've got that song stuck in my head, David Bowie, right? Thanks for that Max x
birkenstocks are my geek shoe of choice, but the patent sunshine yellow saltwaters might just turn my head, and perhaps yours too, one could never look frumpy in yellow patent!
DeleteRed shoes! My favourite - I had a shiny pair at that age. Anything's possible in red sandals, don't you know?
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you won the challenge, who else could make what you have? Nobody, that's who!
STILL sicky? Surely it has to go away soon, gotta stuff your face and keep it down at some point!
agreed, red is the business! me, i had denim wedges with a plastic picture of a mouse on the front which squeaked when you pressed it when i was 7. best. shoes. ever.
Deleteps yes still sicky.so.over.it!
Great shoes Claud!
ReplyDeleteSo is this dolls house of yours going to be getting an extension soon or are you redecorating already?
without revealing too much i can say it is a sort of extension...watch this space!
DeleteI so want a pair of Saltwater sandals, so a wee bit jealous of Claude!! I think I'd look more like a school girl wearing them than a matron like Kylie!! Now I can't get "little China girl" out of my head. David Bowie takes me back to my school days! You have a great long weekend too S:)
ReplyDeletei LOVE bowie too. and i love the school girl look. go for it (and please get the patent yellow pair so we can be jealous of you!) x
DeleteRed shoes!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite SHOES (I'm a boot wearing girl) are my red Dorothy shoes
dorothy as in glittery and spangly with heels? nice!
DeleteThat is the best dolls house craft room I have ever seen. Please can I move in? And red sandals, brilliant, a total style classic. I have been wearing my red birkies with my wine knee high knitted socks and leg warmers because I can't get my shoes on by I am tempted to continue my quest for true geekery.
ReplyDeletebirkenstocks with knitted knee highs is pretty high up there in the geeky stakes. i think we'd have to go you a white sports socks with saltwaters to get ahead!!!
DeleteHa, I nearly used that title myself but you got there first! I LOVE red shoes. On me. On Claud. On pretty much anyone! xxxx
ReplyDeleteagreed. the world would be a happier place if red shoes were as ubiquitous as black x
DeleteHi Max I thoroughly enjoyed your Blog. Such delightful pics and insights into your world. We share some common themes; Saltwater sandals (mine are orange), and sweet pea and snow pea tee-pees. I'm hoping to shape some garden structures from willow too. See you in Blog school, Megan
ReplyDeleteooh that sounds interesting-from live willow? i had all good intentions of making a willow tee pee this year but what with the morning sickness i missed the window of opportunity for getting the willow fronds at the right time. next year...
DeleteThose red shoes rock! Can you still get red roman sandals? I love the way kids shoes can just make an outfit zip. At least, that is how I justify purple mckinlay boots for the kids.
ReplyDeletepurple mckinlays? Nice! claud has just outgrown her first pair of Mckinlays (it's the only brand her dad will wear). but purple mckinlays. that would elevate them to a whole new level of cool...
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous - red salt waters are on my wish list...big girls ones that is.
ReplyDeleteNina x
Congratulations on your win, and the red sandals are enough to make any girl dance.
