Two Old Crabs

My husband is the king of greeting cards.

He NEVER forgets any occasion. For me or for his Mother.

This week he worked way too many hours and simply didn't have enough time ... but this is how amazing he is as a person ... he dragged himself up on this Sunday morning at 5 am and ran to Walgreen's to make sure he got just the right birthday card for me. When I awoke there were beautiful red roses and 3 birthday cards. One romantic card, one silly card and one funny card from our hairy little beast. My day has been made special.

I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Domenick and I celebrating our 54th birthdays together.
His is June 25, mine is June 26.

June: Family/Friends Adventure

Kayaking to Peanut Island. It was my first time ever, and I was alittle fearful of sharks, but thank God, no sightings. Had a blast. Would do it again ... 'cept my cousin now wants to do a midnight run and I'm thinkin' shark bait fer sure. Nooooo thank you.

I've Got a Pep in My Step

I've made the perfect morning drink that gives me energy and keeps me going throughout the day.
Green Smoothie (makes about 32ozs and I drink the whole thing)
2 cups of water
handful spinach
handful kale
handful collard greens
1 banana or 1 apple
1 date
1/2 cup of frozen blueberries
6 frozen strawberries
2 handfuls of ice
blend real good
bing. bing. bing! who needs caffeine!

OMG!

Keely's first pair of Stephen Bonannos.
Sooooo teeny tiny!

SB Mules

Mules that make your feet go aaahhh

Like his sandals, Stephen Bonanno Mules are hand-crafted and come in any color. If you have a fabulous fabric, send it to us and we can make them!

Personally, I wasn't sure if I could wear shoes without a back, but I gave my brother my hounds-tooth fabric and waited in anticipation ... I have to tell you, I love love love them!
Can't wait for my next pair. Real Gator skin!
(exotic skins can be special ordered)

Happy Colors and Easter Baskets

Spring is in the air, I can just feel it!
Ok. Ok. So I live in South Florida and it is a lot warmer here than where a lot of you live ... but Spring is coming, I promise!

With Easter just around the corner, it's the perfect time to start thinking Happy Colors and Easter Baskets. A pair of Stephen Bonanno Sandals inside your best girl's basket will bring big hugs of appreciation. It's thoughtful, it's personal. It's perfect.

If you don't know what her size is or what colors to choose you can do one of two things, give us a call and we 'll help you figure it out or, we have the next best thing ... "Give the Gift with Sole" SBS Gift Card. She can then decide on exactly what she wants. It's a no brainer.
Order on-line or give us a call. We're happy to help.

Look who's in the house

It is always thrilling for me to put faces to the names ...

Long time Stephen Bonanno Sandals fan, Thecka from Jefferson City MO., stopped in to visit our WPB boutique with her friends Carolyn and Richard from Brighton IL. Unfortunately the threesome brought the cold and rain with them, but something tells me that won't stop them from having fun while sight-seeing in Palm Beach.

If it doesn't say Stephen,

It isn't Bonanno!
