I received these shoes last fall and have been to add something to them for ages. The shoes are the simple cotton mary janes that you can find on ebay or Urban Outfitters for about 10$.
To make the flowers, see this tutorial. ๐
I wore the shoes around everywhere when I was visiting Princeton…
Coney Island is so fascinating to me, I have been learning so much about it lately. There is this guy at work in archives who grew up in NY and he tells me all these stories about Coney Island in the good ‘ol days… How it used to be the theme park in the country… like Disney World.
But over the years the park has fallen apart. There were some projects built right behind Coney Island, (see above) and what was once a huge bustling landmark…
…is now withering away. But– Coney Island is being rebuilt. The thing is, I kind of like the repulsive yet fascinating look of the place. It is definitely one of my favorite places that I’ve taken pictures.

Q train in Brooklyn, I loved this train ride, it was all above ground. It felt like I was riding into another place far away from NYC, everything looks so different in Brooklyn.

I’ve gotten some great Polaroids lately, I’ll share when I have a scanner again in Indiana!
And back to my room, with the Christmas lights reflecting in the window over Riverside Church.

PPS– Oh! And I’ve got my Etsy shop back up with some fork bracelets if anyone is interested. ๐
