Vintage wooden shoe forms, ballet shoes and baby shoes.

It was shoe week around here for some reason.  Usually, I don't look at old shoes much but, these sweet baby shoes might be just the ticket to hold an old an old bottle of flowers.


Two pairs of these cuties


These ballet shoes were found tucked on the floor of an antique store.  One pair has some stains that may not come out.  Dyeing them might be in order. 



The local flea market was low on vendors.
I thought the day was a wash until I discovered these beauties.
Dirty, dusty, and wonderful at the same time.


There was an entire crate of them.
I wish I had purchased more.


They are in need of serious cleaning.
I'm thinking of making sign holders out of them


What did you find this week?
