I Heart....

I bought some swell summer kicks by Crocs. I had avoided these shoes for so long because they were ubiquitous, but Crocs has created some funky new styles. Sooo I got these very Scandinavian looking red mary janes. They look like a mod, rubber version of my old "Olaf Daughters of Sweden" clogs that I wore in high school 1979-1981. (While most kids were wearing regular clogs, mine were mary jane style!)

AND I also bought this funky cap toe black and red chunky clog. *Update: While repairing my blog's photos that have gone missing, I noticed this post and wanted to add that these aforementioned crocs lasted so many years.  The red pair was given to a friend who loved them, and the black pair finally wore out in 2019.



AND
two of my favorite toy makers (in case you're wondering) are Lynn Roberts of the UK....


These are just two of her creations from her website.








(I was always more an animal person than a doll person, but I'm absolutely in love with little Ruby.)















AND
Camilla Engman of Sweden.





AND
I heart these Gee's Bend Quilt postage stamps.




They're so wonderful I almost don't want to use them.


Robert and I went to the exhibit at the Whitney in 2003. One quilt, in particular, touched me very deeply and I'll never forget it. It was made by Arlonzia Pettaway from her late husband's old work clothes. She said, "Lonnie, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take Nathaniel's old clothes and make a quilt out of it, where I can remember him."

AND lastly, I heart David Byrne for keeping me in the musical loop (since my cd player is loaded with Satchels' tunes) because now I heart Hanne Hukkelberg!

OK...I showed you mine, now you show me yours!
oh..I almost forgot, here's the html code to create a hyperlink from my comments section to your I Heart list. Just copy and paste the code into your comment and insert the url to your I Heart list where noted, change the "click here..." text to, "I Heart".
