Oh why are these pretty shoes not my size

shoes

In comparison to one of my best friends who is absolutely nuts about them, I’ve always thought I’m not a girl who loves shoes. However I do like having pretty pairs which I barely ever wear. I think these would do nicely in my collection, but alas vintage shoes are barely ever my size.

I would actually like one made out of much bigger plates so I could serve scones and cakes on it, and maybe rumballs in the cup on the top.

Which pleasant animals should I purchase?

I was reminded today of how much I adore Berkley Illustrations, and seeing as we are looking for a new home at the moment thought maybe I should give myself an early house warming gift (or two).

Which ones do you think I should get? Other suggestions from the store are most encouraged.
