It seems inevitable that especially in Spring and Fall, around the entrance a row of boots will begin to appear. Often neatly tucked in a row, descending in size like a chain of elephants and sometimes growing to create little cityscapes with boot skyscrapers in the area around the door. This accidental decorating fixture can be so revealing, adding a suble personal
touch to your space.

There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing the happy little face of a dog out on a walk. Sheer bliss. This weekend I hope you experience a little of that - whether it's out on a walk, enjoying some gorgeous new fall boots, or enjoying some time with your favourite furry creature.

Whatever's on your mind, a little canine intuition will set you straight - I swear they have the answers to it all...

Have a happy, lovely weekend!
