When I was growing up I remember two sets of bronzed baby shoes in our house. One was my shoes, one was my brother's shoes and they were each on a base that held a (maybe) 5 x 7 picture of the original owner, me or him. I imagine that my mom still has them somewhere.
My wife's shoes were also done and somewhere in our basement but her picture between those shoes is a (maybe) 3 x 5 oval. She is 3 yrs younger than me but the style of the oval frame with convex glass (now cracked) makes it look much older than the 5 x 7. My guess on that is because her parents were 15+ years older than mine. Who knows, really.
Anyway, we never had our kids shoes bronzed. To me it just seemed like a way for someone to make some $$$ like Hallmark selling greeting cards.
We didn't even know that was available to have done 25 yrs ago, but apparently it still is:
How many Jeepers here have had their kids shoes done?
