<br />
<span style="color: white;">Here we are in the Summer of 2017. I have several well worn pairs of shoes that are falling apart at the seams and one even has a broken sole!</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">I ponder the options as I wear my scuffed and scraped up shoes. Shall I buy a new pair on Amazon? It is good to support local businesses. Maybe I should buy a pair of lovelies from Sole Desire on First Street. Hmmm...Larks has great well made comfortable and cute shoes.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Meanwhile, I continue wearing my old shoes. Every day I remember that millions and millions of people do not have an option of buying shoes.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">This blog began as I was painting a number of shoe paintings and found out about Soles 4 Souls. Over the course of time, sales of paintings raised over $1000. to buy and deliver shoes to those souls in need. What a joy.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">I want to once again increase my giving to help deliver shoes to those in need. </span><br />

New inspirations abound. It has felt like Spring time so far this Winter! In November and December we gave three donations for a total of $70. With new shows this year and much new work, it is an exciting time!<br /><br />One friend asked me if she could donate gently used shoes. I am now gathering gently used shoes! Richmond is the closest drop off point for Soles4Souls. The Napa Running Store will hopefully collect many shoes from runners who frequent their store!HER SHOEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04191623216601114055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855600603077559150.post-83878867152972599372011-07-02T21:45:00.001-07:002011-07-02T21:46:36.277-07:00It's taken 2 years, but 1000 pairs of shoes is worth it!!!HER SHOEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04191623216601114055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855600603077559150.post-76280655972941068312011-05-27T14:45:00.000-07:002011-05-27T14:54:36.999-07:00Well, we have had some shoes walking into new homes! In September 2010, we gave a $50. donation to Soles 4 Souls. In February of 2011 we gave two donations of $30. Those were from sales of modified and painted purses. <br /><br />In May of 2011 I started showing the shoes again at the Gallery and doing shows. I was able to send a $100. donation to Soles 4 Souls after doing a show at Joseph Phelps Winery for their Club Members.<br /><br />So we are at $910.HER SHOEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04191623216601114055noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855600603077559150.post-91966869025454702732010-08-27T19:15:00.000-07:002010-08-27T19:17:43.945-07:00HER SHOES are on display at SHOES ON FIRST in NAPA through the month of August.<br />We are at $700. in donations now!!!

I am an artist in the process of painting over 300 shoe paintings each named for a specific woman. So far 71 have been numbered.<br /><br /><br /><br />For each painting sold, I have given $20 to Soles4Souls. $100. at a time. So far I have sent $400 to Souls4Souls. They provide shoes to those most in need.<br /><br /><br /><br />In August I committed to help a wonderful person helping children in the Philippines. Since that time, we have had 2 sales. For the rest of 2009 and for the time my friend is in the Philippines, $10 for each sale will help the children in the Philippines and $10 will go to Soles4Souls.<br /><br /><br /><br />I appreciate your support in any form.<br /><br /><br /><br />Have a GREAT day!<br /><br /><br /><br />SunshineHER SHOEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04191623216601114055noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855600603077559150.post-47596162129568727522009-09-03T17:13:00.000-07:002009-09-03T17:15:45.135-07:00HER SHOES is now in NAPALOHA, a beautiful shop on Main Street in St. Helena.
