Miniature Boots

For you cowboy lovers, I have 2 miniature boots in my ArtFire shop, HiddenRidgeRoadGifts

Brown and Green Boot Miniature  I can almost hear the spurs jingling!  Use this boot as a stand alone decorative piece, or as a pencil holder, holder for dried flowers or crochet hooks!

I would love to wear this boot!  I love fringe! Brown Boot with Turquoise Fringe Miniature
