Sentimental Fool :)


I am sentimental,...probably to a fault. But, I don't like to have a bunch of stuff laying around the house unless it can serve a purpose. My last baby (that's the "plan" anyway), has grown out of some of her teeny-tiniest shoes, and I just didn't have the heart to give them away. That is when it dawned on me.................Baby Shoe Tassels!!!! Yay!!!! Aren't they precious? My heart is a flutter right now.

    Holly, Holly, how very cute! I totally understand how you do not want to "let go" of the small shoes. My sister keeps telling me the same with her "baby" girl things.
    I can so identify with this sentiment and "being sentimental"; there is nothing wrong with that; so scratch the "fool" part.;))
    You are so very talented and I bet your home must be one of a kind.;))

    I saw the picture of the tassel on somebody's blog scroll and had to come and have a closer look. Those are so cute! What a clever idea!
    Love them!

    Oh my goodness! I love this idea and I am so going to make one for my little girl...she picked out a pretty gittery pink shoe a few years back at Childrens Place and I hated them but she cried for them so I gotta do this with that shoe...Such a neat thing!

    Okay, this is one of the most clever things I've seen in a very long time...I'm going to link to you tomorrow in my post. You will be my inspiration on Inspire-me Tuesday.

    Oh and tell your lovely Hubby Happy Belated Birthday from his neglectful sis-in-law and the Firedog!!!!

    Who in the world could not be sentimental about baby-girl shoes? I'm sure you're the first to think of this amazing "outside the box" idea. Way to go! : )

    Oh my gosh Holly! These are adorable! You sound sort of like me on the sentimental side. My " Baby" is 8 and I still have a hard time getting rid of some of her stuff.
