A couple of years ago, Simple shoes were selling a DIY shoe kit that I totally wanted to get because I am obsessed with hand made, and I am also obsessed with the idea of making my own shoes. I just came across this amazing hand made shoe company called Cordwainer located in Deerfield, NH. Not only do they make beautiful custom made shoes, but they also have weekend shoe workshops and what looks like a Bed and Breakfast on a farm, where you can walk away after a weekend and have a handmade pair of shoes for yourself, made by you. It just sounds like a dream come true getaway for me! (The fee for the weekend is pretty steep) I guess for now I will keep on dreaming about making my own shoes someday. As an afterthought, I have a rich history in figure skating, and from what I understand, Sonja Henie used to have shoes made by Cordwainer!
