At the rainy day sale this past weekend...I came across this sweet little brown baby shoe...
Just one...
It was in the booth of a dealer with a lot of old automobile junk...
It looked so sad and lonely....so lost.
I asked the dealer how much he wanted for it and he replied...
"two dollars".
Two dollars for one shoe? No way. I left the booth.
But .....my heartstrings tugged....it was lost...it was lonely...
...it was sad...
The mother in me could no longer leave a lost and lonely baby shoe than a lost child...
That automotive junk dealer knew my weakness.

My heart strings would have tugged at me too, but $2? Maybe his heart strings were tugging too and he didn't want to let it go?
Oh Laura, you are too sweet, it is not a weakness, it is a stength... I am so happy you went back for it... Bisous... Julie Marie
Oh you are so sweet. I would have had to take it home too!. Sharon
Sweet! I always listen with my heart too.
I , too , found some lost shoes this last weekend...what is it about those little ones that just get me right smack in the heart? Glad you went back and got it!
Two dollars well spent, I'd say! Very cute!
You are so sweet and softhearted...lol I would have gone back to get it too. Women are so tinder hearted and sentimental.
Blessings,
Sharon
So glad you gave in! It is super sweet! Great color!

That's the sweetest shoe I ever saw ~ perfect for an autumn display. I'd have paid $2.00 for it in a minute! Glad you gave it a home!

Even my two tall teenage boys like lookin a little baby shoes! They can't believe their feet were ever that little!

It is a really cute shoe, though, worthy of a home. I just love your blog.
Ooh my ... how cute is that little shoe!
Maybe it's me ... but just 2 dollars?
I would have paid double but that's because over here they would simply ask at least 10 ... for a single shoe that is ;-)
Dutch greetings,
Miranda

Oh it made me sad that you left it and happy you went back:) Too cute. Have a blessed day.
I have a thing for old shoes too! I have some single ones as well, they make up to great little displays or pin cushions. I like to put my bunnies coming out of them! LOL They are too cute...thanks for sharing!
SO happy you went back too...I could never have left it either.

Hello Laura
I wouldn't have been able to leave behind either. It has now found a good home!
Who did it belong to? That is what I always wonder.
Have a lovely weekend.

Laura,
May little bargain shopper. Look at it like it's the price of a cup of coffee....it's a bargain!!!
and a lot cuter!

Oh, so lovely. We dug up a little clog in the garden of our tiny Newcastle-upon-Tyne flat when we lived there. It was incredible to think of the little child who had worn and lost it.
Oh Laura, you have such a wonderful heart!!!!! And the little baby shoe is so lovely!!!
Have a very nice weekend, Hugs Jade
