A Different Sort of Piggy Bank


Shortly before Little Man was born, a kind bloggy friend sent a little package of baby goodies in the mail. Included was the sweetest little pair of knitted baby shoes. So sweet, in fact, that I just have to share them with you!





I love the shape, and the colors, and the little cuff, and the cozy wool. And they belong to the Only-Things-That-Will-Stay-on-a-Baby's-Foot club. Oh, how I love that club.





They're a different kind of piggy bank -- a perfect repository to keep tiny little baby toes safe, warm, and stylish.

And Serena, they get compliments *every single time* he wears them!

  9. I had a pair of similar style that a friend made and they are the best for staying on the feet. Those booties and a little blue cardigan were some of my favorite goods.

    Very cute! Wish I could knit.

  10. Aww! Serena, they are SO cute!

    BTW, Shannon, I have a made up name for your baby in my head. I don't know why, but since we don't know his real name, my breain has decided that his name is Michael.

    ?????????

    Anyway, "Michael's" piggy toes are very cute! :D

    Keri, it's so funny that you should come up with the name "Michael" -- I believe my sister was thinking (or still is thinking) of using that as Little Man's "code name" on her blog!

    Blessings,
    Shannon
