Old Town Manor, historic inn and gardens, is an elegant bed and breakfast located in the heart of Key West, Florida. The property was formerly known as Eaton Lodge.

The general idea of the Fund is to raise fund to send 2 underprivileged kids through the Montessori school program, not only to provide opportunities to children who may not have them, but to also create diversity in the classroom thus enriching the environment.   The event rose over $15,000 and increased awareness of the Fund itself.  A lot more has to be done and the gala last night was just the beginning. 

So here’s the fun stuff – at the silent auction, yours truly was the winner of a pair of Jimmy Choo strappy stiletto heels donated by the gorgeous (on the inside and out) former super model, Veronica Webb.  It is hard to believe that someone like me, who lives and dies in her old school Chuck Taylor’s now, owns a pair of Jimmy Choo’s.  Every woman at the party coveted those shoes.   My husband didn't get it, just as you would expect of any straight man.  So i distracted him by bidding on and winning a basket of coconut goodies made by the famous Henrietta.  That did the trick.

Maybe I will never wear them.  Maybe they will decorate the mantle.  Maybe they’ll sit in the Jimmy Choo box in a Jimmy Choo bag only to be taken out at parties so we can giggle over them like schoolgirls.  Maybe I will wear them to my brother’s wedding, if he ever finds someone who will put up with him.

Whatever happens to them is not important.  The fact that Jimmy Choo’s have been used for a good cause, and I had something to do with it, is worth every penny I paid for them.  That’s the good stuff.
