NOT YOUR AVERAGE FARM BOOTS

Sometimes the shoes make the woman. Oh, yes. You know what I mean. I may be a salt-of-the-earth farm girl, but I still have my self-esteem in the form of footwear moments. Enter Bryr Clogs. Ah-mazing. Can I gush? Of course I can. These shoes are made by Isobel, my forever fabulous friend from those heady post-college San Francisco days (oh, the nineties). So, of course I'm proud of her. I mean, just look at these boots. (Just in case you want more inspiration, here's her full website.)
     She swung through town over the weekend, stayed long enough to catch a market, and left me in her dust with a pair of her clogs glued to my feet. Why glued? Because they haven't come off since then. I love these shoes. I know this week's jam is going to be off the charts, just by virtue of my feeling just a little tiny bit cooler this week. 
    Besides the shoes, she's even plugged my humble jam wares on her flashy blog. Check it out! And even though I like being photographed about as much as I love scrubbing my jam pot at the end of cooking day, I think she did a great job of capturing me mid-Saturday market. We had to pause between catching up over lattes and handing out samples of the latest flavors. 
    So, thanks Isobel and here's a lifetime supply of jam to my favorite ex-wing woman/amazing cobbler/incredible friend. You rock! I guess I might have to finally take off my new boots to pick figs tomorrow. Otherwise, the soles could be wrecked for good.
