    I hope I live long enough to see the Christine McConnell Boutiques come to life, selling everything from designer wallpapers and home fabrics to antique furniture, to Christines favorite shoes, dresses, pants sets, and jewelry.
    Oh, that will be a glorioius day.

    I cannot wait - I preordered three pairs! For anyone who has never worn their shoes, Christine is absolutely right, American Duchess footwear is incredibly supportive of the feet, and always well constructed; I've walked 14 hour days on hilly, cobblestone city streets in their shoes and have never been anything but comfortable! So if you are curious about whether these beautiful styles would make your feet happy I encourage you to try a pair! 🕷️🕸️💖

    Possibly the most classy designs I've ever seen. If you designed some accessories, bags, gloves, bonnets, hats, fascinators, parasols, umbrellas, even coats you could single-handedly bring fashion back on track. Your genius is without compare.

    The other perk of having more than one set of the shoes you made is kind of like a legacy item. Imagine 100 years from now when family members could say they have shoes designed by their great great great aunt Christine, who was known for her impeccable style!

I do not know you personally obviously but having watched your channel for a bit now, your work is the most detailed creative, stunning works of art and you can tell you put your whole soul into everything you do. And thank you for sharing your channel with us, and all the best with your new shoe line! I have a feeling it is going to be a huge success!! ~ Cherie in Canada

    I just love the naming. I am named after my great-grandmother Mildred. She was my mom's maternal grandmother. My mom is my best friend, and we were both incredibly close to her mother. I love feminine lineages so much, and it is such a mystical thing. An AFAB woman is born with all her eggs. So the egg you would eventually come from was inside your mother while she was inside her mother. It's just amazing.

    Love your shoe collection. It’s brilliant, like everything you do and are. Have you heard about parts of the pineapple🍍being used as faux leather now? Supposedly it’s the best one out there. If I was still designing, I would use this new natural fabric, as it stretches, wears, and breathes like leather. Velvet is beautiful though, especially in these styles. Love your room there, your gorgeous cat, adorable dog, and the editing is superb. Love you, wish you uploaded more often, even just your drudgery when doing refinishing or whatever, it’s all interesting.
