Eleanor is waiting for her Cinderella moment! She can’t wait to slip on this incredible handmade shoe crafted from Tula Pink fabric using a shoe kit you can make yourself. The colors are as bold and playful as ever, and we’re showing it off in style with our special, one-of-ten Tula Pink custom rug that we were graciously gifted by Tula Pink and her team!

Eleanor may still be healing, but she’s quilting even faster than she’s recovering — nothing slows her down for long. And if you’re wondering who helped make this photoshoot extra fabulous… that would be Tabby, our unofficial posing coach who guided Eleanor on how to model her new Tula treasure just right.
