Here is a recently-cleaned and mounted addition to my family history collection of memorabilia and memories. We're not sure to whom these teeny newborn shoes belonged, but we're guessing they were made by Neal's great-grandmother, May Riddlesperger, who was born in 1875 in East Texas. She made things with her hands that you would never believe. This is just a small sampling of the collection we've been given, mostly by Neal's sisters, Georgia & Charlotte. I need to work on getting more of it properly displayed. One day, I'll have a little mini-museum going on in my living room.Don't these look pretty?

Those are beautiful! They would look great shadowboxed on a wall with lots of small quilts! ;-)
they would ginger! you're right! they are actually in a shadowbox, but i couldn't get a good shot of them with the glass cover closed. :)
First of all I love your sister-in-laws names... Georgia and Charlotte- how classy! Those are beautiful! When I look at old items of clothing- I wonder who wore them- and what they were like...so precious!
you definitely married into the right family.

isnt it amazing what people make with their hands??? i can totally imagine a mini museum in a parlor or a drawing room at your home. always so classy and cultured... you inspire me to get more interested in my own family history!
