I adore shoes. Ok… maybe it borders on obsession. It doesn’t matter if they are flats, heels, sandals or boots. I am equal opportunity lover of great shoes. But, did you notice that little word there? Great. So, you can imagine the stress I went through trying to find that perfect shoe to wear for my big day! For months I searched and tried on and wept over ones that were vastly beyond my budget but would have been perfect. At last, I did find that one great shoe that was in budget… but they were so plain. The shape, the fabric, the structure and construction were all perfect… but there was no “HELLO” factor.
What is a girl to do? Shoe clips, of course!! I hunted through vintage and a few shoe shops… nothing really caught my eye. Finally, I ventured out on a limb and asked the uber fabulous Jade at SweetGrassMill on www.etsy.com if she would consider making my clips for me. I say this is out on a limb because she has never listed any of these for sale and mine would be the first she had ever made! She has custom made all my feathery goodness to date with amazing result, however, so I knew she would be fabulous AND be able to have reference of what the other stuff looked like. Well, hallelujah, she said yes!
For a while we went back and forth on design and placements, etc. until we arrived at perfection. I am absolutely over the moon!! I have been dying to post these here ever since they arrived, but as yet, I had not gotten the chance to snap the pics. Last night I got my first pedi of the year, though… What better time to take a shoe pic?!
So… without further ado…

What a great idea! We do tons of jeweled shoe clips at the boutique I work for, but we haven’t done peacock feathers. So pretty and very unique.
