tales from a small room

my niece came over for a visit this afternoon excited to show me her sparkly new shoes. she whispered in my ear quietly that she had princess shoes and wanted me to get my camera and take her picture. i told her about the wizard of oz and dorothy’s ruby slippers and i taught her how to click her heels just like dorothy did. i even told her, to her amazement, that dorothy’s shoes originally were silver just like hers. she was very impressed with this dorothy and said that she could be her friend if she wanted. too cute!

+ here is another famous pair of shoes brought to life!
