There were times, before computers, when there were pen pals. For me this was a time before dollhouse miniatures. I collected miniature shoes (some were 1:12, most were various sizes but not made for walking)
I would like to show some of my collection today and hope you like what you see. The photos do not really give the little shoes credit.
This is only a part of the collection. It was a very exciting time, exchanging hobbies with pen pals overseas, opening parcels, sending parcels, corresponding and learning about our families. Also, when going out shopping it was like going hunting for little shoes. My daughters call me the Imelda Marcus of little shoes.
Today it is so much easier with emails and online overseas shopping.
