    How darling! I remember taking my daughter to get fitted for shoes when she was little. Of course, she hasn't worn buckle shoes in forever...sophomore in college.

    Seems all little girls want a pair of red shoes at least once during childhood. My girl did, and as for me, I had to have red pappagallo's in high school <3

    a flood of memories just now... I bought my three kids shoes just like these at a store called Mrs. Bloom's shoes for kids ... in the 1970's ...

    we called the leather buckle shoes, Mary Janes

    Those darling shoes have carried some sweet little feet along their way. Can't help but imagine what the child might have looked like that wore them. Who knows, maybe they were worn by more than one. I would say probably. The little red ones are my fav too! So cute!!

    Dear Laura,
    I LOVE anything small and these little shoes are all so lovely. I love to imagine who wore them. Like everyone has said before me, I had a pair just like the red buckle shoes. I don't know if you have Clarkes shoes over there but, that's where my mum and dad bought our shoes and we bought our childrens shoes.
    .....but, I'm as interested in the gorgeous suitcases. I'm very into suitcases at the moment and bought an old, childrens one last week.I love the colour of yours. XXXX

    How adorable! I can almost envision the precious children who donned those sweet little shoes and, in my mind, hear their innocent laughter, as they ran gleefully around the playyard. I, too, am drawn to children's vintage items, Laura. ;)

    Have a beautiful week!

    Oh, Laura, I adore all your shoes...I'm sort of a shoe nut, especially wee ones! The way you display them, too, is so charming.

    Oh, I had some red buckle shoes like that and have been semi-consciously trying to return to them ever since, I think! No doubt Freud would have something to day...

    Hello Laura!
    Adorable this publication... They are all a few charming zapatitos.

    The shoes that we have used to go to the school always were the most comfortable.

    Precious!

    I was in an antique market on Wednesday and saw a little pair of roller skates. Remember the one where you strapped the skates on to the bottom of your shoes? Made me think of this post. Ahhh...the good old days.
