Get your boots fixed! Mine are fixed now! They were broken and now I can wear them again! (I’ve linked my local cobbler as if that will be useful for literally anyone hahaha)
A Good cobbler can extend the life of your shoes and bags. My Cobbler has a crazy accent but wont tell me what country hes from for some reason. Anyway pop over to East Village shoe repair in Bushwick to get your shoes fixed
Very cool to me that this is a centuries old trade untouched by technology and whenever I go it feels quite charming. These dudes work magic every time, it’s awesome. Do not buy new shoes, let the cobbler save the old! Up next: going to the tailor.
with whom I have a very close r’ship. Nothing chic-er than taking your worn-in leather boots to be re-soled! Look after your things and they’ll look after you.
I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
