I created this post for a "Shoe of the Week" event hosted by Anja.
The theme for this week is Pumps.
I don't own that many pumps because I don't own many shoes with heels any more. These shoes were always kind of small, but yesterday I felt like one of the ugly sisters from Cinderella trying to squeeze my feet into them! I originally got them when I lived in Providence RI, at Roxy Deluxe on Thayer St in 79 or 80. I've held on to them because they are so beautiful.

toe cleavage!
they give a lovely line to the leg
I love the label on the skirt

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
