OH WOW! Wild Boots and Pearls! OT

Sep 19, 2003 7 Replies

Yesterday I got a notice that the post office had a parcel for me. Kathy and I were dying to know what it was, but we couldn't get our hands on it until today. I am SO glad it arrived while she was here!



It was from Kathy N-V and contained the most astounding, mind-blowing, Tinkworthy Doc Martens you have EVER seen! Take a look at:

a wonderful, wonderful present! I am so grateful for these boots... Irarely get stuff for myself unless it's sensible (lol), and I was completelynuts for these boots when I saw them online. Kathy took it upon herself tomake a gift of them to me, which STILL has me stunned. They are amazing!Kathy, these boots TOTALLY rock, and the 5UK size is a PERFECT fit! I'mgoing to hunt for some lime green laces for them now. LOL! If that weren't enough, my pearls were also in the box (they are awesome!), along with a great chocolate bar and some PARTY POPPERS! Kathy KDK and I amused my neighbors by running out to the front porch and popping them, then giggling uncontrollably!



Thank you, Kathy, for putting the finishing touch on the most perfect week I can remember...


I'm so glad you liked the Tink-box of goodies. I have to say that I found the boots to be wicked scary, and so did the girls. When DH saw them, he thought I bought them for myself and almost choked on his rigatone. (hehehehe) The chocolate is a common German brand, but it's tough to get here, and DD brought me home a stash, which I am guarding jealously. And the party poppers seemed so... Tink that I had to toss them in the box.

May all your weeks be even happier than this one,

Kathy N-V

I remember those boots, they rock. Kathy's a sweetie pie for giving them to you Tink!

That's awesome. And on top of all that you have a new assistant! Yeah for Tink!

And if that weren't enough, I'm actually TORCHING today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! Here is my new scheme to force myself to focus: I put a limited palette on my work surface and I am NOT allowed to add any colors to it. I can replace colors that I use up, but nothing new. No matter what. I'm even doing sets! Yikes!

Autumn. That pretty much sums it up.

Dharma Trading. Buy their dyeable laces and the right color dye (they'll tell you) and you'll have a pair that matches perfectly.
