A thank you present:

OMG aren't these shoes just Devinne? They are VERY VERY special. The reason being, is my beloved sister Natalie has just bought me them from Shoe collection in Debenhams, as a thank you present for making her top and skirt. You know the one I started make a few months back, for her captains dinner night on the cruise. I have not quite finished the skirt as it needs to be hemmed. However, before I could do this, Natalie had to purchase a pair of shoes to go with the outfit. I had seen a pair that were ideal for her a few weeks ago in Shoe collection, but Natalie was not with me so I did not chance to get them. When we went today they were no longer there. She did find a pair she liked and felt comfortable in (well almost comfortable as natalie does not do high heels). I saw these and my eyes grew wide and I began to drool at the mouth. Of course the next stage is to try them on and oh boy they were a perfect fit. That was it, no going back, I had to have the shoes. I told Natalie I was going to buy them and she said no I will buy you them as a thank you for making my two piece. I obviously objected profusely because they were a tadge pricey but she insisted. The Twist in this story is this: What a lucky girl I am, not only to blessed with a great sister but to also have a fabulous new pair of shoes.
