Shoes

The Weekly blip challenge is shoes.   My shoes are pretty boring so looking around I thought of the little red felt sandels I made for this doll Penny when I was about 10.  They are less than an inch long.  Fiona plays with them still altho the dolls are pretty fragile.   Going thru the doll box I was amazed to find all these other pairs of shoes!    The felt ones I made for different handmade dolls, the leather ones on the right are from Mexico —in the 40s/50s, for a doll of mine (now broken)   and all the rest are from dolls of my Mother's!  (she was born in 1906 so you can sort of figure how old they were.) the dolls unfortunately have been broken by this latest grandchild, but the shoes live on!
