Won by ME!
What a lucky duck I am! First, Sandy Mastroni's cat sign, and now Sandra Evertson's Cinderella shoes! Apparently someone sprinkled lucky dust on me when I wasn't looking.
Would you like to rub my head?
I must tell you about dear Sandra. Have y'all met?
Sandra is an amazing artist and author, just dripping in creativity.
I stop by her blog every chance I get to drool over the photographs of her latest creations and read the fanciful stories she weaves about them.
When she offered her Cinderella shoes as a prize for One World- One Heart, I left a comment, never expecting her to draw my name. There were 576 comments. How could I be so lucky?
I was!
They arrived this weekend!
I especially love all the little details. I had enjoyed them in the photographs, and they're even more charming up close!
Details like this.

She sent them with Amities--kind regards, friendship!
She promised a surprise on the bottom of one of the shoes. But I'll save that for the end of this post, just for a little added suspense!
I love the wordy heels. Perfect for a writer!

And the gemstones!
And on the sole (not the surprise one, but just as fun) --
Two little mice!
Do you know what these fairy tale slippers remind me of?
Another fairy tale shoe, and Wonder of the World...
Lady slippers!
The lady slipper orchid...

Wouldn't you like to slip your pretty foot into that?
Or maybe you prefer pink.

I'll take a size 8 1/2, please.
Or maybe purple.

Nature makes such pretty footwear.
And so does Sandra Evertson!
Thank you, Sandra!
I think I'll do a little Cinderella dance in celebration.
Care to join Gwen Fosse and me?
If you prefer to Walk It Out with Gwen, hop over here!
Have a wonder-full Monday, y'all!
Love, Becky
PS. Almost forgot!!
Sandra's secret sole!
Too funny!
Maybe I should buy Cinderella a nicotine patch! Let's hope it belonged to a stepsister!

Congratulations on your win! I saw the shoes on Sandra's blog. Her work is terrific; even more so in person I'm sure! But I'm actually writing to tell you that I LOVE your blog -- I just found it today, via Linda Crispell's post. I will definitely look for your book. I lived in France for a year when I was 16; it's a life-changing experience! Happy Monday. xo -- Sandy Garrison/rhubarb reign
Brings back your book and the ubiquitous French cigarette!
You struck paydirt with these slippers.
Beautiful and beyond my imagination.

Sandra is quite an artist and aren't you lucky!!!
I learned about wildflowers and lady slippers in the 6th grade...it was so fun and I'll never forget looking for them in the woods!

Wow! That video made my day. I even took notes so that I can bust out these moves at the next party.
I love the slipper orchid. I painted a picture of one of those with a tiny frog in the bottom part of the slipper.
What a lovely pair of shoes. The soles are just too much. Enjoy.
Congrats to you! They are GORGEOUS! The Tongginator wants to steal them. (Seriously.)
Hi Becky,

They are beautiful and funny at the same time. Sandra has a great sense of humor, as do you.

Jaxpop, you always make me laugh.
I didn't think I'd get a comment from you on this post, not on LADY slippers. You crack me up.
And for the record, yes the shoes would go nicely with the wig!
Confused, people? Hop over to Biddy Brain and you'll understand.

We are in a very exclusive club of people who have won Sandra Evertson's art! I was the lucky winner of an assemblage this past summer.
