i’ve recently seen not one, but two, outstanding cobbler shops

one in portugal

  a combo cobbler shop and bar

and this one in my town

bursting with creativity

a good cobbler is a treasure

both an artist and a craftsman.

“i think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we’re supposed to make. we waste so much time making decisions based on someone else’s idea of our happiness – what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress. nobody says, ‘just be happy – go be a cobbler or go live with goats.’”
