Yesterday I got to Skype with the fam for the Bean's birthday. During the course of the conversation the Bean, Double A, Mom and I were killing some time waiting for the hubby to get off the phone (he was working) so we could tell the fam a story that he wanted to be part of. While we were waiting I showed them the shoes for yesterday from the shoe
calendar, and then Double A wanted to see the ones from her birthday as
well. Turns out they both got vintage shoes on their birthdays:
These are from yesterday, so the Bean's birthday, and they're from 1918. Aren't they cool?
Double A got pink petit point shoes from 1945.
Quick side note: These pictures aren't from the calendar, and yes, they would have been larger pictures had I gotten them from the calendar, but a. the hubby is sleeping and I don't want to bother him, and b. I'm just too lazy to go get the calendar and scan the pictures in.
I thought I'd go see what else I could find from 1918 (or at least what the internet says are shoes from 1918).
I love the color. Overall the shoe is a bit clunky, but it's vintage, so I'm not going to hold a little clunkiness against it.
I really want to like these, but they're just slightly off for me. I can't quite put my finger on why.
These are weird. And kind of cool. And they prove that weird-shaped cutouts in otherwise normal shoes are not a new thing.
And now on to more petit point. Love these. Even the heels have needlework!
These aren't baby shoes, these are doll shoes. That was one spoiled doll.
I love the colors of this one, so bright and fun.
I'm so very happy I have nieces. And that their birthdays coincided with cool shoes on the shoe calendar.
