I found the ruby red slippers at a yard sale, along with 19 other sparkly pairs in different colours. Almost lost them to an ugly stepsister who was trying to make them fit. Alas, her feet were much too large. I wear them all around the castle now and up and down the yellow brick road.

    ...with sheer black pantyhose. The youngster in the back just hangout with a pot? Atleast there is a healthy home atmosphere. Love the photo

    Thanks for your comments and accolades! I must tell you that this shot was taken on New Years Eve. Here in Canada we have a quaint custom of banging pots at midnight as the new year is born. Hence the child in the background with the pot. Your comments made me laugh!!

    Marie, I thought the "pot banging" thing was a western Canadian tradition on new years! Cool shot!

    Banging pots at midnight on New Years Eve? Here in the Midwest we gather all the firearms run to the backyard and Blast! them into the night sky.....occasionally hitting our neighbors on the next street. Quaint custom eh?.....I think i'll move to Canada.
