Here at Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles we love to shop on the internet as well as sell. Since one of my passions is shoes and boots I especially love to find a good place to buy and sell footwear. We have found just that...the site is called If The Shoe Doesn't Fit and the concept of this website is new and unique. Not only can you buy or sell new footwear and accessories on this site but you can also find great deals on good quality used footwear. That in itself is not so unusual either but here's the great thing about this site...you can also swap or trade your old shoes that you no longer want for shoes that are still perfectly good that someone else doesn't want. So you win and they win...it's great. Get tired of your shoes? Trade them for another pair...simple as that. It's like having a friend with your same shoe size and an unlimited amount of shoes to trade.
Stop by and visit Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles on ITSDF to find a wide variety of new footwear like this pair of Pleaser Electra-2021 Goth Fishnet Black Platform Boots
or this pair of Pleaser Bordello Teeze 04G Black Glitter Platform Pumps.
Whatever your preferences are I'm sure you will be able to find something at If The Shoe Doesn't Fit where you can sell, swap or shop for shoes.
Unfortunately I cannot remember where the following came from but it is one of my favorites so I thought I would post it. I believe that it is very meaningful...
Listen For My Bell
Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each looks like every other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing...
One of the horses is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him. This alone is amazing.
If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her halter is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.
As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see how she is always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where she is, trusting that she will not lead him astray. When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.
Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need.
Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse, helping others see.
Good friends are like this. You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.

Cobalt Blue glassware and collectible pieces have been around for a long time but just where does that distinctive color come from?
Georg Brandt, a Swedish chemist who is often credited with isolating cobalt around 1735, was able to show that cobalt itself was the source of the blue color in glass. The color had previously been thought to be caused by bismuth which is often found with cobalt. Much of the world’s production of this blue compound was produced during the 19th century by a single producer in Norway.
While Brandt might be credited with isolating cobalt, the color was used long before that. Discoveries show that it was used to color glass much earlier. Exploration of wreck of a trading vessel off the Turkish coast near the town of Ulaburun turned up a glass ingot of this special color which was cast in the 14th century BC.
The oldest cobalt-colored glass which have been uncovered to date was from the period of 1550-1291 BC. It is not known were the coloring compounds were obtained.
Cobalt compounds have been used for centuries to give glass, glazes, and ceramics this rich color. It has been detected in Egyptian sculpture and Persian jewelry from the third millennium BC.
At Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles we absolutely love Cobalt Blue glass . For instance, we offer this beautiful Set of 4 Cobalt Blue Glass Stemless Wine Glasses for entertaining your guests.
We also have a charming Cobalt Blue Glass Lamp Shade Covered Candle Holder to decorate your home in warmth and charm.
We have many other collectible pieces also along with many home decor ideas. Of course, there is always my first passion...the jewelry .
Please stop by and visit us sometime...we'd love to see you.
Many thanks to Cobalt Blue Glassware for sharing their information with us.
All of us at Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles would like to congratulate both Super Saver and Calvin Borel on their victory today in the 136th running of The Kentucky Derby.
It was a sloppy track but, being true to form, Calvin took Super Saver to the rail and guided him across the finish line in style.
We would also like to thank the powers that be for bringing all of the horses home safe and sound in each and every race that was run today.
Now...on to Baltimore in two weeks...
