Now we have another shoe…  It is what I’m working on this week so it is what you are seeing.  Mostly Victorian shoes and decorated boxes.  This one I am calling the Turquoise Sparkle Shoe.

The little oval in the front is the two-sided picture mat with a little silver bird in a bird cage charm.  This fits inside the toe of the shoe which, again, could also hold a gift card.  There are a total of 14 picture mats on the shoe and a spot on the bottom for a To/From message.  There are two triple-pearl-topped pins tucked beneath the beige, very fluffy organza flower with little brown dots.  The turquoise button in the middle of the flower is dotted with tiny white pearls.  The shoe is much more sparkly than can be seen in a photo and is very sturdy.

This one will also go to the bazaar and the Etsy Shop (www.miniwonderfulthings.com). I have one more of those beautiful organza flowers so I could duplicate it if need be.

I hope you can relax and enjoy the moment by moment pleasures of this holiday season.  My littlest granddaughter, Jade, and I will be making Gingerbread Boys and Girls when she gets home from school.  She has been begging me to make cookies for two weeks now and I found a gingerbread cookie mix the other day at Big Lots for $1.  Now all I need are cinnamon dots and white icing.  She’s going to have a ball!

Let me hear from you, dear friends.  Comments are always appreciated and treasured!
