I love baby shoes! I search high and low for them in all my favorite thrift stores and antique shops. The older, the better as far as I am concerned... I wonder what story each little pair could tell about the tiny feet that once wore them, about the little toes that wiggled in delig

This is soo cute and delicate looking. Great painting!
I love all your baby shoe creations. This one is so cute. Each one you do is better than the last!
The tiny shoe is so beautiful! Loved what you said about the stories and toes wiggling with delight inside.
Our granddaughter Olivia is just a year old, and prefers barefeet to shoes(just like her grandma). Wish I had a pretty pair of shoes like this for you to paint! Jo

Thanks for sharing!

The baby shoe is just beautiful. What a wonderful keepsake idea. I still have my 30+ year old kids' baby shoes. This is just a wonderful idea.

It's precious. And I love the way you have it photographed in front of the children's book pages. :-)
