  1. i was at Macy's yesterday and wandered through the shoe department where there was not one single pair I'd put on my feet. hideous shoes. i said to hubby, "i wish i could go back in time." he says what for - i say "to buy shoes." maybe sears would deliver to the future ;) thanks for the Sunday Scans, I love them!!

  2. I find it funny that all the pictures of feet have the women pointing their toes. It's like, "OOoo, look at my lovelies!"

  3. Maybe they're not the most elegant shoes ever made, but my pair of 1940s oxfords (see "college heels") is my favorite pair of shoes ever -- trim, feminine, smart, practical and the ONLY pair of shoes I can walk for hours in without pain. Like Shrinky Inky, I look at a lot of vintage shoe ads and wish I had a postal time machine.
