instant inspiration

August 12th, 2011

i went to reed’s odds n’ ends the other day, and they had a whole basket full of old wooden casts for making children’s shoes.so many different styles and so tiny.  they were only five dollars each, so i took some home.  don’t know what i’ll do with them.  just admire them.
