Shoe report
You must use your imagination with these. I purposely wore them, just for this photo, with red socks to add a Christmassy vibration, but the look is more jangle than jingle.

Despite a little cold, even. I stopped by a craft store to pick up a glitter pen to personalize Xmas…

Read Morerosy memories
The other night, as part of an ongoing cultural exchange with my Norwegian friend Ã…, I photographed bits and pieces of my painfully vast and extremely dear-to-me collections of dish- and glassware.
