We have so much in common, all those of us who gather here. Wouldn't it be fun to meet sometime? Share stories? Show off shoes? Maybe meet some of the craftspeople who make these magical creations we love to wear? One of my regular readers planted a seed that I'm going to let take in nourishment for a couple of days. But imagine what that might be like to have a clog gathering sometime, somewhere. More on this soon as I look into the future with some intriguing ideas. For now, though, it's time to glance into the past.

[On my feet as I blog: I was supposed to meet a friend for dinner, but then plans got cancelled. So the fun clogs I was hoping to wear never made it onto my feet. I ended up in my Cassidy wood-soled sandals from Earth Shoes all day.]
Just discovered (a bit late in the day as I'm now 40 something) that I too love clogs. I'm sure I must have had some in the 70's but my memory fails me so I count my new tan Sanita plain clogs as my 'first' pair and I'm already looking to build a collection! I've been reading through some of your archives and you've had me laughing out loud for most of the day. Thank you and keep blogging! You have a new follower ;o)

Welcome! Thank you for writing! I don't know what it is about clogs that has always captured my imagination, but like you, I took something of a hiatus for awhile. And then as I nestled into middle age, something snapped and I stopped caring as much about what was fashionable and started indulging in what I loved. Glad to hear you're building a collection of your own!
I just visited your corner of the web, and I'm wondering if you'd mind if I pulled a couple of your photos and mentioned you in an upcoming post. We love clog converts here, and I'm sure my readers would welcome you warmly. Though living in Portugal, you no doubt have plenty of warmth in your life!
Those tan Sanitas look very cute on you!

Hi Lindsay. That's fine, I don't mind at all - thank you! I ordered 3 more pairs yesterday including a pair of clog boots for the winter! Thank goodness for internet shopping eh?
Have a great weekend ;o)

Oh! Well, you'll have to let me know when you've posted photos of your newest acquisitions so that I can publish them, too!
Welcome!
