Tom Toms

I know a lot of people who are obsessed with these Tom shoes, not really sure of the appeal, they kinda remind me of a version of Keds that we used to puff paint on when we were kids. I know I know they are part of a socially conscious business which is very very cool, but still look like basic slip-ons to me.   Then I saw these beauties and they just may have changed my mind.

Harry Potter Toms

Hunger Games Toms

Alice in Wonderland Toms

Dr. Seuss Tom

Would you where customized shoes like this in public or are they more of a display piece?  Do you buy things based on the potential good it can do?  Do you all think I am a horrible person for not personally liking the style of shoe, even though the giving shoes to kids thing is pretty awesome?  Are you a closet Toms addict?

Reading On The Porch

Finally made it home, a little tired so this will be a short and sweet post.  Got some great reading done on the trip, mostly various short stories, but I also finished up The Spellman Files and Garden Spells.  I will be going into more details about both of these books in a later post.  I think the best part of the trip was curling up on the back porch looking out over the rolling hills, the pepper plants growing in the fields and a huge cup of coffee on the table next to me.  The temp was perfect with a light breeze blowing the fresh scent of the great outdoors through the air.  This setting screamed for fairies so I got out my faithful The Faery Reel and immersed myself in the various worlds of the Fair Folk.  Overall a great trip, just wish it could have lasted a little longer.

What did you do this weekend?  Did you read any good books?  Does your environment influence your reading choices or is that just a weird thing I do?

Chiles!

Having a great time on the family Chile Farm!
