    I would love a "closet tour" where you show your favorite vintage clothing items, to include shoes and jewelry!

    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.

    Gorgeous designs. You have such a talent for unique designs. The way you have pulled together vintage, historically accurate and just a touch creepy with your home renovations.. it is truly a joy to watch. As a Mom and Nana myself, I love that you’ve honored your Grandma and your Mom in this lovely endeavor. Congratulations, I wish you great success!

    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 designs are impeccable. I love everything about them, especially the pointed vamps. I've been trying to find shoes with that kind of bat wing element and they're not easy to come by. I need all 3 in every color.

  • @reneemichelle-o6e
    @reneemichelle-o6e 29 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

    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!

  • @shannonwalls7573

    What I love about your collection is there is a beautiful, appealing FLAT. There is nothing second best or after thought about it. I have a disability that has put high heels firmly behind me in the rear-view mirror, and it's nice to still feel included in your designs.

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.

    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.

    Christine, your taste is immaculate. Such a wonderful talented woman indeed.
    But of course, you are... "Queen of The night" You complete Autumn 🍂 🍁 and Halloween! Yes, The mansion suits you well. All your hard work, and love that you put into every special room, and space of the mansion, making it so very comfortable for spirits to gather there... Giving the saying "Home sweet home"
    It's true meaning...
    Let's face it "Vintage" is special, unique, and eye catching! Congratulations on your beautiful designs!

    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.
