Baby Shoes

Don’t you just love vintage items?  I keep trying to decorate my home with more contemporary pieces, but I’m still drawn to things with a history.

Especially when the history is that of my husband.  Like these baby shoes.

He wore all of them.  Aren’t they adorable?  (Click for a larger image.)

The shoes are thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law who’s saved them all these years and who gave them to us recently.  I think they’re very special, and I’ve displayed them in our living room.

She also gave us her high chair, circa 1934.  It’s great to have these family things!

So, about that decorating…can you say “eclectic?”  Or should it be “transitional?”  At any rate, I’m enjoying using a mixture of old and new.

How ’bout you?
