@caitlinrgreen @EquineAnn It's charming - looks like a kit for an embroidered cushion cover. We could market this! ;)
@QueensClassics @EquineAnn ooh, nice plan! ;)
@caitlinrgreen @QueensClassics Who is doing all the sewing? If you want us all to do it, I prefer sewing animals.
@EquineAnn @caitlinrgreen No, you misunderstand! They do the sewing, we reap the profit. We could make PENNIES per year from this.
@QueensClassics @EquineAnn Lol! It is tempting--the potential riches! ;)
@caitlinrgreen @QueensClassics Haha! Definitely.

Not so well preserved, but still nice--6th-9thC shoes, Egypt, suggested made for a priest? http://art.thewalters.org/detail/77402/pair-of-shoes/ …pic.twitter.com/hFca3Z6h6p
@caitlinrgreen Still in Pakistani villages people wear such shoes. I remember i wore them as a child but they hurt my foot :)
@Umarkarim89 Interesting, thank you! They look so soft too, but I guess not?
@caitlinrgreen The villagers normally hv hard lives and work in fields so their feet are quite rough so not a problem for them
@Umarkarim89 ah, ok---makes sense, I guess.
@caitlinrgreen This is a traditional Khussa (the local shoe name) wore here in Punjab province of Pakistanpic.twitter.com/y8629Uvm8m
