Red Fru-Fru Christmas Ornament Shoe #023
I promised early on that nearly any ‘shoe’ was accepted (and proudly displayed) by the Lillian P Wood Memorial Collection. This fancy red Christmas Ornament is no exception. Suffice to say that it was a very adored Christmas present from an adored 4 year old to her adored mother. (AB in 1992)
It is really quite something, and I am grateful for a photograph for I do not want to go into much detail – understandably. It does rather creep into your Christmas-spirit-heart, though, if given half a chance.
It is a monster ornament, 4 1/2″ high (not counting feathers and beads) and 4″ long. The material is a velveteen-sort glued over heavy cardboard 🙂 and is trimmed in gold and red braid. Also adorned with purple gathered flowers and tiny green leaf beads. The beads are actually quite cool.
I have absolutely no hard data on this curiosity, except as with all gifts from small children, it is not for sale.
