She wears shwe shwe shoes

The gorgeous shwe shwe sandals that I ordered from shweshwe.co.za have arrived and I am thrilled with them. The women at the post office who handed me the parcel saw the company name on the package and wanted to know what was inside. When I told her she insisted I open them right then and there and then she took them round to all the other counters to show the ladies there ( Luckily Brixton has a small post office, so that was only two other ladies who had to ooh and aah over the shoes before I could get them back).

They normally only do bulk orders and so I was very chuffed that they had a pair I could buy on a single order.

As soon as the weather gets a bit warmer I am going to be stepping out in style in these fun shoes.

Then last week I discovered more shwe shwe shoe goodness from Bokkie Shoes who make baby doll shoes and boots out of shwe shwe.

They sell them online both locally and internationally on etsyand you will soon be able to buy them from The Space stores around South Africa

The baby doll shoes are also available as ' best friends' , a concept similar to the Campers Twins shoes.

Each shoe is made with a different pattern of shwe shwe in the same colour - with alternating patterns on the strap.

Fly Away Shwe Shwe Birds

The Wren - whose gorgeous shwe shwe bags I have mentioned before has made the lovliest little bird pouches made from remnant shwe shwe and other fabrics.

They are so lovely thought, that the moment she puts them up on her esty shop they fly away as fast as their wings can carry them to other peoples homes.

I have heard that there are more on the way, so I will keep my beady birds eye on The Wrens blog and the etsy page and see if I can make one of them mine.

(hopefully before then I can remember the number for my Internet Banking log in - a silly sequence of numbers I can type without thinking, but stopped to think while typeing it yesterday and now like the Wrens lovely birds, that number has flown away from my grasp. Even my sub conscious mind tried to capture it, as I dreamt about it several times last night. When I remember it I can transfer some funds to my credit card for happily well deserved shwe shwe bird purchases )
