Women's Footwear in America

Disney World, 1972

I recently found this fabulous photo of my mother–no wonder she ran kicking and screaming from Manhattan when my grandfather retired to Florida, and we followed. I love the clogs she’s wearing.  It reminded me of a store on Beach Drive in St. Petersburg we use to visit that only sold Scandinavian products called  The Straw Goat.

Beach Drive, St. Petersburg, Florida

I will definitely be writing more at a later date on my mother who was voted Dream Girl at The University of Wisconsin.  Feeling nostalgic on this snowy day I decided to take a trip to one of my favorite places — The Scandinavia House.
