Handmade Monday (Part 2)


Today's topic: tiny shoes! Aren't they divine? With tone on tone felt, intricately sewn details and little metal grommets for the checked ribbon laces, I like to imagine they were cobbled by small fairy tale elves late at night in a room lit by a candle. In reality, they were made for Oliver by a talented gal in my church congregation and they came with another pair in blue and green. I love them - and so do my kids {remember, obsessed with tiny}!

They are so little that Ollie only wore them once to church, but they looked simply stunning with his tan pinstriped pants and little Baby Gap polo. I can't bear to put them away, so they sit on the table next to his crib for all to see - until I find them on Hannie B's dolls or RedDog's stuffed animals.

Thanks Lisa! A boy needs shoes . . . just ask the Hubby. {note to self: future post about the Hubby's shoe obsession.}

ps. Thanks for all the advice on non-dairy alternatives. I've already nixed Rice Milk because it tasted like water on my Raisin Nut Bran. Next up is the reader's favorite - Silk. Stay tuned.

So boutique looking and so adorable! I can see why they are on display: they look so innocent and precious, just like little Ollie.
