    These are mine, I got them off ebay in plain white for £40, then I sprayed them and glued lace on. I'm so pleased cos they are so high but I can actually walk in them!

    Can't see the pic on the link! Can you repost? How did you glue the lace on?
    I'm really sad :(

    Bought these shoes earlier in a size 5, tried them on with an insole but they slipped off at the back. I bought them anyway to try a heel grip and it still slips off :( i knew I'd have to buy something with a sling back or strap cause "normal" shoes never fit me but I love these shoes and I want them, plus they match my colour theme :(
    I tried on the size 4 but it crushed my feet and they don't do any half sizes. Any ideas what else I can try? Thanks

    Oh what a shame, they are gorgeous :( I have no idea what to suggest except do NOT be tempted to go for the size 4! :o

    Thank you - I have just received my quote from the florist and she wants £80 for my bouquet alone!! I have emailed her back asking for something less, but I am more than capable of doing my own and think I might. I wanted fresh flowers for me, I might just attack the supermarket the day before! Mx

    I'm not too bothered - I have been arranging flowers for as long as I can remember - my Mum has left bunches of flowers still wrapped for the best part of a week for me to arrange then for her! I get married in the spring so I think I might just go for masses of white tulips. Or I might behead some hyacinths...

    Love that your Nan was smelling them!

    Ooooh, I LOVE tulips!!!! :D They are just gorgeous, so simple yet elegant. My florist says that they wilt very easily on a warm day though, maybe check that out first? HTH.


    Lucky dainty feet ladies, mine are wide fitting (and swell in the heat) so shoes are going to be a nightmare! :eek: I hope I get something nice and comfy :o

    Yeah, my florist said they will open up too. To be honest I'm not too bothered if I have saved a fortune! I will find somehting - my florist suggested hyacinths, with grape hyaciths for the men. I love the idea, but I don't love the price so I think I will have to source a good supplier of some.

    Robinred - your shoes look fantastic. How creative are you?
