how about these?

I'd be the life of the party dancing in these at the wedding. Don't think so? They're probably more comfortable than the ones I brought home from the store. Anything other than flip-flops feels like jail after a summer of free feet. Actually these belong to Erin and sit on the shelf in her very spare but cozy, orange/white guest bedroom. Look closely to see that one of them is unfinished, the design sketched in but not painted. Our favorite part. Do you think someone some day will treasure my half-finished projects? Um, no. Going back to work on a pile of those now. And it's Joni Mitchell day on WFUV. Yeah for turntable tunes, India-print dresses, VW buses, park concerts and bare feet! Have a clogging+blogging+singing good time out there today. Doo-doo-doo, do-do-do. xoC

Oh how cute! They remind me of a little pair of wooden shoes we have displayed in our den. My husband's grandfather brought them home from WWII. They are not painted as ornately as yours -they have a simple design painted on them and Belgium, 1944. My MIL wore them when she was a toddler. They are a treasure.

I am intrigued by the orange and white room, how cool must that be. Also, on your post before about the ipod cozy, it's adorable, I am thinking of making on too! Thanks!

Love the shoes.....what nice decoration. And oh how I know what you mean about the torture of returning to "real" shoes after a summer of sandals.....killer !!

I love this post Charlotte, Joni, Indian bedspreads made into blouses, VW buses! "We are stardust, we are golden." Good times. :)

While I was out running my errands yesterday, they played a song from Joni Mitchell's new CD on the radio and I want to go pick it up. She was the soundtrack to my teenage years and I still adore her madly. Didn't she say awhile back that she wasn't going to record ever again, she was so disenchanted with the music industry? I'm so glad she changed her mind.

Those clogs are so charming! And I love the fabric behind them, what a cheery and welcoming room.

Oh! The pieces of yours I ordered from Bayberry arrived yesterday. Oh the cuteness! I am in love with them all, so darling Charlotte! :)

Oh my, Charlotte, don't even get us all started on unfinished projects! Next thing you know there'll be a "Unfinished Project" blog explosion! LOL

[melissa @ the inspired room]

Unfinished projects? What are those? I don't see anything of the sort around here. Oh, maybe that is because they piled up so high they've tipped over and fallen off the table on the floor! OH MY!

Love the shoes. I am loving putting on a pair of cozy sneakers with socks, now that I feel the chill in the air!

Happy Thursday, dear Charlotte!

Beautiful shoes... I am fortunate that out here in Southern California we can get away with summer shoes for a good part of the year... and thats good for me because I love the feeling of free feet! LOL Thanks for sharing these beautiful shoes with us Charlotte.

A a lovely day...
