Lucky Seven

I can't believe it's been SEVEN years for this little blog.

Although my posting has wound down quite a bit, my love of shoes has not.  Still out there daydreaming about gorgeous shoes all the time.  I'm so glad people keep coming by and saying hello too!

If you want more shoes and beautiful finds, I'm on Pinterest and Instagram all the time!

Thanks Miss Elle for letting me stop by!

I was testing out font sizes for the site and now it's gone a bit messy on the last post!

Sorry about that.

By the way, do you like the larger size font (here and most of the previous) or the original smaller one?

Thanks!

Are we having fun yet?

Thanks to Sheryl and Wendy for keeping me up with current events.

I had no idea it was National De-Lurking Week!

I can only blame myself for not spending more time goofing around on the Internet. I've tried to limit my sleep time to 3 - 4 hours so I can flit around to all my favorite blogs and obsessively check for new posts. I don't get to do this for a living (yet) which really cuts into my reading and posting time. And then there's all that spending time taking care of the pets, brushing my teeth and getting dressed.

I must be more committed!

Anyhoo... if you have thoughts or comments, I'd love to hear from you.

Don't throw shoes in glass houses

I feel so official now – I got my first “hate” mail! An anonymous (???) e-mailer seems to have some concerns about me and my blog because:

"Could you be any more superficial? Talk about priorities -- you sound like someone who is totally self-centered and selfish and who thinks of nothing important."

I am responding because, well, how could I resist?

Dear Pot,

First off, I’m the one doing the writing here. What the heck are you doing? Why don’t you go get your own site and vent all you want?

Secondly… um, hello!!!! Superficial? Self-centered? Selfish? Heck, yeah I am! What are you, Sherlock Holmes? I thought you knew me. I don't think anybody would be surprised by that. Duh! And why shouldn’t I be self-centered when you obviously care so much about what I say and do.

And, maybe I’m confused about the concept. This is a blog about shoes! What kind of redeeming purpose are you expecting from a fashion blog that’s about shoes, buying shoes, commenting on shoes, shoes I want and shoes I don’t like? What isn’t superficial about it?

And don’t you come off a bit self-centered too since you sent this comment hoping it would bother me? Welcome to the club, baby! And thanks for giving me some great material.

Love,
Kettle

PS. Since you you’re so obsessed with me, why don’t you go buy a t-shirt from my store.
