Great Balls Of Light!

I don't speak a lick of French, but when I stumbled on La Case de cousin Paul (via Bholu) I knew I had fallen in love long before I noticed the option to translate the text into English. The French boutique has a DIY-element to it, allowing customers to make their own "fancy lights" by selecting the number and color of the balls that make up the garland lights. There's even a super nifty website feature to help you envision your creation. Unfortunately, there don't appear to be any retailers in the United States and shipping is 22 Euros (ouch!) - what a bummer.

Dear friends living in France,

I spotted these heels on the French site Bata Shop. I want them. If one of you could buy them for me in a size 39, I would be forever grateful.

Respectfully yours,

Erin
