Call me crazy, but I like to think of this as more resourceful. Instead of going out and finding some ugly bookends to hold up my movies and of course books, I went digging in my closet. I found these beautiful and neglected shoes just sitting there sadly. I must admit I have never worn these shoes. Within minute of putting them on I want to cry because my feet hurt so much. However they were only $8.00 at Target and you know me and shoes, I just couldn't resist. I love these shoes!!! Even never wearing them, just having them in my closet made me happy. Silly I know. And now they are bookends and I get to look at them everyday!!
