we give away perfect boots for free

Yesterday was Queensday, which is always paired with a widespread flea market and a lot of music and noise. I somehow always find the best stuff at this flea market - last year I found a great pair of high-waisted shorts and this year I found.... these.



They're exactly what I was looking for, and when I asked the lady who was selling them how much they cost, she looked at her husband and he said: "One euro."
One euro! For the most perfect shoes in the world! Okay, they're exactly one size too small, but I figured that if I can walk in heels all day, I can definitely squeeze my feet into these. They came with the original box and it said they had once cost 199,- (the brand is Manfield). And my day was brightened even more when I found these on the Topshop site. They are nearly identical (they also came in brown before) to mine, but exactly sixty-five times as expensive.
I also bought a cute little book from the 1920s with English love poems, but more on that later - I have two weeks to go until my final exams, eep! The end of high school is near, which is a fairly frightening prospect, to be honest. But first I'll have to cram a ton of books into my head in fourteen days!
