Next week "YOU --any part of you [myself]"




Dang....I love shoes! I collect shoes!! But, funny thing is: I'd much rather go barefoot! Go figure.

Anyway, I thought I'd take you on a 'walk about' through parts of our home to show you a few 'shoes' hanging around, just sitting idly, waiting for their time in the spotlight! [all images can be enlarged]



These are my 'clod hoppers' is what I call them...they're soft Italian leather and so so comfortable. My pair of choice!! I wear them VERY often, as you can tell.


These are my stone studded 'dress shoes'...I just wore them a few weeks ago when I had to 'dress up' for the Broadway Show "Chicago". [I really don't like to dress up...if it were up to me, I'dda worn jeans and a t-shirt!!]


These are Native American shoes! [actually pink leather with turquoise conchos ---on one of our Kachina Dolls]


Bear fur trimmed moccasins on another Kachina Doll



Now some kids grow up with the knowledge of a perfectly bronze-coated BABY shoe. Living in the foothills of Colorado where we raised our kids, they both had BABY moccasins!! The light deer hide moccasin is Irene's [also the silver sticking out from behind is her silver baby spoon. ] And.....

This darker version of leather baby moccasin is Erik's --also with his baby spoon! THEY BOTH HAVE THE MATCHING moccasin in their homes!




And last but not least...what else but BOOTS? Puss n Boots to be more specific. From Shrek II

  1. Lots of great choices, but I agree those clod hoppers look super comfy :)

    Happy photo hunting!

  2. My moccasins are the most comfortable shoes I own, but since they don't have a real sole I can't get much use out of them.

  3. I love the pink colored ones.
    Happy weekend!

  4. I had a pair of mocassins when I was young, and they were the most comfortable shoe ever. I'm not much of a shoe girl- more into flip flops. But now purses, well we won't even go there! lol Have a great weekend!

  8. I relate to your comment about loving shoes but preferring to be barefoot. It sounds like me! You can take a girl out of the hills, but you can't take the hills out of a girl! Love your moccasins. My kids had them too. Fun post, Anni!

  16. Good selection of shoes miss hoot, I just noticed your occupation, that is a hoot.....

    Remember those who died for your freedom.

    Dear Lord, lest I continue in my complacent ways, help me to remember that someone died for me today. And if there be war, help me to remember to ask and to answer “am I worth dying for?”~

    Oh I think you're being very unfair calling those clod-hoppers. I think they look lovely, especially compared to what I normally wear :)

    Sigh, there's another one of those things I never did. I don't have any of my babies' "first pair of shoes" -- except Aisling, because she's still wearing them!

  41. Me too - me too - I love shoes but run around in sock in the Winter and bare footed in the summer - strange huh? Love those photos and just can't enough shoes! I never throw away a pair, if I can help it!
    Happy weekend sweetie!

    Your shoes look so comfortable! Except your dress shoes, but they are very pretty so they don't need to be comfortable..

  45. Your opening line could be my own! It’s raining here in So Cal and I’m still barefooted … but I own more shoes than I can count. They’re all of a comfortable variety however … no ‘stone studded dress shoes’ for me any more. Love the ‘Pusss ‘n Boots’ at the end ;--)

    Mine are at Small Reflections with a bunch of Saturday memes.
    Hugs and blessings,
