Wishing you a lovely day,

Hugs

Thank you June for reminding me to be grateful for what I have...and to share with others...you are a dear lady.; 22 April 2014 at 07:25
Ozstuff said...: A sobering pause for thought to be sure. Just today my daughter told me she had paid over $200 or 150 pounds sterling for a pair of running shoes for her 12 year old daughter. The bottle flip flops are touching. Beautiful and thoughtful artwork, June.; 22 April 2014 at 08:19

Taluula said...: My old Mum used to say : Poverty is the Mother of Invention. He will probably never own the 'runners' but perhaps he still has something the runner wearer will never have.; 24 April 2014 at 09:36
