You see, I was born with only stubs of toes on my right foot (I am 62) therefore I had a lifetime of summer sandals envy/problem/having to wear closed shoes. The ones you are wearing are PERFECT! Can you tell me what brand they are? I will be forever greatfull, the last nice "sandals I wore was back in the 70's with a model very mucho like the ones you are wearing.Marilunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-48474408957413092762011-11-06T02:39:00.611-08:002011-11-06T02:39:00.611-08:00Just found your blog and it's gorgeous ... lov...Just found your blog and it's gorgeous ... love the Pinnies.

W...Oh gosh, that's an awful lot of stitches! <br /><br />What a great reason to be giddy, and what lovely pinnies! I made a pinafore with my mom when I was a little girl, complete with smocking on the front in pastels. Sadly, it lacked pockets. I've kept it, though, because it was darling and because it's intact enough that if I have a little girl someday, she'll enjoy it, too!<br /><br />We really ought to bring back pinafores. They seem a very good crafty accessory. You can always have little tools on hand! You could even keep your yarn in the front pocket and crochet or knit on the go! :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653265136506116537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-2069537852448189312011-11-05T05:36:13.181-07:002011-11-05T05:36:13.181-07:00I love the pinnies; I just picked one up at an est...I love the pinnies; I just picked one up at an estate sale last week for $1. Not to shabby. But the even better deal was the "trash" bag full of 40s and 50s granny clothes sitting on the porch that the nice lady said I could just take. Alas my I am woefully behind on blogging, but someday I'll get around to sharing these delightful new treasures.gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800896173488745516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-69264853762571240592011-11-05T05:05:10.490-07:002011-11-05T05:05:10.490-07:00Tif, I am so excited about your shop update as I h...Tif, I am so excited about your shop update as I have only recently found you( am very new to reading blogs & now addicted- you are one of my absolute favs!)& have already ordered your book from etsy ( how great is etsy?).
