Mary Janes

I bet we all can remember when we wore

 

black patent leather Mary Jane shoes,

 maybe even a new white pair for Easter.

They were so shiny and they made you feel like a princess.

The name, Mary Jane's

 came from a cartoon character who was the

 sister of Buster Brown,

the character used by The Brown Shoe Company.

They both wore the little strapped shoes.

The style and the name continues to

describe that style of shoe since it's start in 1904.

I did make it to the shoe store this past weekend.

Keen's summer shoes are in

and Mary Jane's are popular again.

 Aren't they cute.

HA HA I just noticed the picture. 

No, I don't wear them on the wrong feet!

They are

So summery,

So scrappy, 

like a pieced quilt.

I feel like a princess.

Until Next Time-
