Pair of Early Look Chimney Shoes with Mouse
Lots more photos below in the slideshow.0
These olde early look chimney shoes would look right at home in any prim homestead. I love how they turned out. They are 6 inces high and 8 1/2 inches long.
They look like they have been hidden near a chimney for the past 200 years or so.
It was the custom way back in the 1500's or so in Europe to place an old worn out shoe or maybe another article, near an opening of a newly built home , most often a chimney.
The tradition was thought to ward off evil spirits. Oh course, the churches frowned on this pagan belief, so in the most part, was kept secret.
This belief was carried over here to America. Shoes and other articles such as a child's wooden toy, spoons, coins, etc. have been found.
Shoes that have been found during renovations or of tearing down of old homes and buildings were mostly children's shoes and secondly, women's shoes.
Made from painted and aged muslin with coffee dyed string and comes with the resident mouse with a bit of real straw if you would like to make a nest in one of the shoes.
The resident mouse has been made from painted and aged muslin with glass seed bead eyes and an embroidered nose and a string tail.
The pair of shoes will come with a signed and dated card and will be carefully packaged with a prim surprise tucked inside. For display only and not for children under the age of twelve. The mouse if of my own design. The shoes are made from a Dee Duncan pattern. Any orders will be at a higher price.
