I couldn't believe anyone's feet could be that narrow. My mom wore double AA shoes and had a hard time finding shoes.
These are a set of shoes of HELEN CAMPBELL POWEL, The daughter of Amasa and Grace Fox Campbell.
What does the horse carriage cost? But they bought an electric car around 1915 and paid $5,000 for it then.
This was their daughter Helen's bike.
Went to work. Same same!
Packed one of my suitcases that I will be using for creative supplies. I've still been checking the thrift store for one more.
If I need more than 2 luggage, I need to rethink and remove some items.
Still working on my bucket list. Some could be listed under goals. Like, get rid of 40 items.
A cold spell is coming in. The wind is coming straight out of the north. So I'm calling off my art thing at the pearl.
Opps on that photo
Today art is from TUVALU

ReplyDeleteCrikey - hard not to see those as clown shoes! Those woven stars are beautiful... YAM xx
My feet hurt just looking at them.
ReplyDeleteI think they’re a torture contraption
Only weirdly shaped feet could fit into those shoes.
ReplyDeleteThe mind boggles at what $5,000 would be in today's money to buy a car.
I thought that was an early electric car.
ReplyDeleteI have ultra narrow feet but not that narrow! Wow! Late 1800's early 1900's electric cars were all the craze and at one time back then, a third of the cars were electric. The Model T introduction and cheap gas, expansion of roads, killed advancement of electric vehicles back then.
ReplyDeleteI used to wear a AAA with a quad A heal when I bought dress shoes; but am not that narror now, as I've gained weight with age; but still have narrow enough feet that buying shoes is not easy. What great pictures. Love the antique stuff.

Those shoes!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the shoes (so narrow) with the shoe/button hook!
ReplyDeleteThe carriage and car are beauties!
ReplyDeleteWow, those really are narrow shoes. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThose narrow shoes are sure something and I like those stars too!
ReplyDeleteMany people back in those days damaged their feet by wearing whatever was in fashion.
ReplyDeleteI have the opposite foot problem: wide feet. I can't even imagine fitting a toe into those shoes.
