slippers.

I like when friends write me. An encouraging email beats Belgian hot chocolate with giant Whole Foods marshmallows. It makes for a good day. Amy asked, "just wondering if you have found any websites with cute (and not obnoxious) toddler slippers - I've been looking somewhat unsuccessfully for a pair for {my son}.."

It was a search, Amy. But hopefully this will turn up a couple of good ideas. {I cannot handle cold feet!}

first: Bobux Chocolate Crush slippers, $33
"very soft smooth leather inside and a soft, tight wool outside. It has a suede leather sole for slip-resistant, flexible protection."




second: Garnet Hill's Boiled Wool Slipper Boot, $38
"Traditional European slipper boots of cozy boiled wool have been delightfully transformed into a menagerie of whimsical designs": Dog, Bunny, Mermaid, Penguin, Unicorn, Ballerina, Elephant, Dragon, Shark, Frog.




third: Patagonia Baby Synchilla Booties, $25
"Step into the warmth of earth-friendly poly fleece by Patagonia. Designed with a dual-snap closure for a snug fit, these updated booties keep little feet and toes toasty warm. The tri-layered sole provides extra cushioning, while subtle treads prevent slipping. Nylon facing reinforces the heel area for durable wear."



finally: sock monkey slippers, $18
"They're machine washable for easy care and can even be dried in the dryer, for a thoroughly practical dose of nostalgia."


Any others??
