It's been too long!

December has been even more festive than usual. That’s because I’ve been having shoe parties.

            What is a shoe party? Good question. It’s like an old-fashioned Tupperware party, but much more interesting. Plastic containers are something you can get in a supermarket. Beautiful shoes need a little more seeking out. I had a shoe party at home and then a few at the homes of lady friends. The guests get to view the range of María Perón shoes, try them on and purchase them if they want to.

            Each of the parties was quite different in atmosphere. At one the guests sat in a sedate circle, sipping champagne and asking for the story behind the shoes. At another the ladies didn’t wait for a preamble, but ran to the display of shoes and examined them with cries of delight, then dived into boxes to find their sizes. It was so much fun to see. 

The ladies were pleased to find the shoes comfortable and many took photos to show their friends. I was excited to use my mobile Eftpos machine for the first time. I’ve always loved purchasing things on my credit card in shops. I like the little ceremony of swiping the card, punching in your password and being rewarded by the chuckling noise as the machine spits out the receipt. It sounds like a happy otter.

January will be quiet month for María Perón, as I will be away for much of it, but anyone interested can now purchase shoes from the website, and parties will be back in full swing in February. Keep an eye on the María Perón Facebook page for details.
