{ Small and Simple Things }

I love my feet. I think everyone has at least one feature about themselves that they adore. The one feature that we are absolutely sure could rival any model in any magazine if we were comparing just that single feature. Well for me, it's my feet. My cousin Liz once told me I had nice feet. I obviously took that conversation to heart because here we are, 15 some odd years later, and I still distinctly remember it. As a young girl I also always desperately wanted her approval so she gave me a taste of it that day and I relished it. It's the small and simple things in life that really keep us going isn't it?

With that little introduction I have posted this post is for three small and simple reasons. First obviously is my love of feet, which my mother further enhanced by making these adorable slippers. I have needed slippers since the beginning of time and never seem to get around to finding myself a pair. I will look no further. I just had to show them off.

Secondly, since I love feet, and the wonderfully cute shoes you can put on a child's feet, I wanted to show off the steal of a deal I found at a yard sale. The find is this: a $1 pair of miniature L.L. Bean galoshes for a two year old. They have given me visions of Peanut stomping around in puddles, looking for bugs and frogs and tromping around getting delightfully muddy. I see only a practically perfect photo opportunity in that vision when in reality it will be quite a mess to clean up. Oh well. I have a feeling I'll be just as muddy as he will that day and I'll enjoy every minute.

Lastly, do you see the little yellow flowers next to the boots? Well, I had a little visitor knock on the door last night. It was our charming five year old neighbor. We had the pleasure of watching him a couple Saturdays ago and sharing ice cream with him and his family just last week. I opened the door and there he was, holding out those little yellow flowers, saying he brought them just for me. His mother told me he had been talking about me earlier and had told her that he loved me. I just melted away.

Thank you for the little things.
