Really Really Cool Stuff We Found!
I love shoes, and in my time I’ve seen some pretty amazing slippers. But there was one pair I found that surpassed all the others. For this really, really cool article I’m going to share my little discovery with you.
These beautiful heels are known as the “Forever Yours” Love Letter Shoes, hand painted by artist Deborah Thomson. The story behind them is one that really warms my heart.
Thomson’s website (figgieshoes.com) takes requests from people all over the world and the artist hand paints each and every pair of shoes commissioned. Thomson designs shoes for all occasions, and not just weddings. For this particular pair, she had an unusual request. The couple wrote love letters to one another. They requested that she write out their letters on each shoe. The groom’s letter to the bride appears on one shoe, with the bride’s letter to the groom on the other. They each emailed their letters separately, and read the letter for the first time when the shoes were shipped.
This is definitely something I plan on doing once I get married.
Thanks for reading!
