The Vintage Reader

This morning Giant-Size Toddler Thing #1 (formerly known as Vintage Toddler) and I went to the outlet mall to escape the heat, and I bought a new pair of sandals, which are so comfortable that I was taken back in time to one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I've ever had: the Famolare sandals I wore the entire summer after sixth grade. Famolares were in the same vein as the original Earth Shoes: ugly in that endearing 70s way, and really, really good for you. I started wondering if Famolares were still around, and if so, how I might get a pair. Voila: They are! And I can order them online! Sometimes I love the Internet.
