Hooray! New TOMS have arrived!

One Day Without Shoes

One Day Without Shoes is a nationwide event to spread awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child's life.
On THURSDAY APRIL 8th, people are encouraged to go the day, part of the day or even just a few minutes, barefoot, to experience a life without shoes and inspire others.


FACT #1
In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to school, clean water and to seek medical help.

FACT #2
Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.

FACT #3
Often, children cannot attend school barefoot

FACT #4
In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot on volcanic soil.

FACT #5
Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes and basic foot hygiene.



Need help getting your school administration or community leaders to join the movement? TOMS has a form ready for you to send around! Please click HERE.

Can't go barefoot on April 8th? You can use the picture below on your social networking sites to spread awareness!


We will be barefoot at the felt bird & we hope you join us!

This past weekend we painted our floors and added polyurethane. It was a real stinky blast.


We got the store back together today. We had to work with the doors open for awhile to help get the smelly polyurethane stink out; but not for long because we were freezing. I'm ready for Spring already.






I don't know if you've noticed but we are movers. We LOVE change. Not just in the store; but in our lives. We've lived in 4 different places in the past 4 years.
I will say, I HATE packing. I throw a fit.



We also have these now!


The vegan friendly TOMS Habitante canvas shoe that features statistics about the inhabitants of the world as a village.
# Made from recycled and sustainable materials
# Recycled texture twill upper
# Soft faux suede insole
# Recycled rubber blend sole with textured bottom for improved traction
# Arch and heel support

Also, black is back (for women)!


Now I'll continue watching the Degrassi marathon.

Sunday and Monday was spent rearranging the store & painting the walls





Green won the online poll but when we asked our shoppers to choose they all chose the reddish orange; so we decided to go with that. And I'm very happy with the decision.

And yes, that's Dexter in a Christmas sweater!

One for One

TOMS (which stands for Shoes for Tomorrow) was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.

In 2006 an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers.
