Ode to Old Shoes

CREATED/ PURCHASED/

These were last seen on Bella's Shoe Shine, 12/11/13.
I linked up from an Instagram post, as an experiment.

After I took the shot, I retired them to the trash.
I was thinking I'd sketch them one more time, but really it was time they were gone.

Let's take a moment to follow them back in time through sketches:

2012

2010

2008

Now, a haiku!
 
RIP, cow slides
2000, Sacramento
thirteen years and gone

I perused all three albums from the 2000 roadtrip to see if I had any shots of shoes. Nada.

Here I am with my sister, my niece, my mom, and the van that summer at my mom's house.
I MAY be wearing the slides, can't tell.

Preppy Badass - 70s Flashback

[2.5.19] Anyone remember Polyvore? It's broken.
I've looked, but I don't think this image existed anywhere else.
Sigh.

Another tribute to Erskine and the merry band of pranksters.
With a little help from my friends. You know who you are.

Flashback: Carter's and Keds

Let's "walk down memory lane" and find me at age four, riding my tricycle topless, in panties, yet fully shod.
That's my brother on the Texaco truck.

Here are Mom + Dad, June 1954.
Mom looks so pretty and Dad 
so dapper! 
From the date, I imagine this 
is from Aunt Bunny + Uncle Jim's 
wedding. Location looks like 
Alder Creek, NY.

I love EVERYTHING about this photo

One of my favorite outfits in the 80s.
I wore that skirt to death.
