Of Apron Hooks & Wooden Shoes

Here's a few goodies from my latest stop off at my favorite 2nd hand store. From the practical to pure whimsical this store seems to have it all. Plus I've met some really nice folks in the isle's too. Life is good, and I am feeling like hopefully spring is just around the corner. It was a balmy fifty five degree's today, with scudding misty clouds amidst peeks of bright sunlight. You can't ask for better than that. Besides we seem to be in eagle land. I counted nine bald eagles yesterday and two golden eagles. We have two bald eagles in our neighborhood that glide past the windows at eye level. It is fantastic!

Now for practical purposes I couldn't go wrong with this nice hook for over a door. I always have use for such things, be it for aprons, towels or what-have-you. It has turned out perfectly for my kitchen aprons. How delightful!

As I turned to go I looked down on a lower shelf and what should be there but this pair of wooden shoes. I was delighted! These are the first I have ever seen marked Danmark instead of Holland, and I am unsure as to the meaning?! Is it a misspelling of Denmark or just a company name? How puzzling. Still, I thought them very cute and they will be at home in my Dutch collection. Woo! Hoo!
