    The second pair is a little girls complete with buttons. They are missing a few buttons but pretty just the same.

    I picked up three pairs of little shoes, last summer at a yard sale, they're not quite as nice as yours tho...
    I wanted to give a pair to my mother, but couldn't decide which ones, so I let her pick, she chose the olice green cordory ones, they were my favorite too...ha...

    What a neat discovery! It is so fun to think about the little feet that wore them around Liz's house all those years ago.

    Thanks for sharing them with us.

    I honestly don't know how old Mom & Dad's house is. I do remember the people they bought it from. I was 4 when we moved in and the old couple was in thier late 70's or 80's and couldn't handle a home with a big yard and driveway to take care of anymore. I don't remember if they were found in the attic or basement.

    That's just one of the perks to buying an old home. When I bought my old farm I found a lot of treasures. I found some shoe forms, a tin train set in an old wooden lock box, an old cigarette tin and much more. But these items were'nt in the house, I found them in the barn in a grain ben.

    Still have them sitting in my livingroom.
