Hi everyone!

I'd like to invite you to offer your own suggestions as to how parents and others are working to save on their kids shoes and clothes. Obviously, here at Save On Kidswear, I advertise and market for Magic Kids as well as various footwear sites; however, I am also aware that there is a need to help one another save resources and be creative during challenging times. Earlier on this page, I mentioned a few ideas - but I'd like to hear from you. If you have questions, feel free to submit them as well. I'll do my best to research the answer - and maybe one of our other readers might have the answer as well.

I check into the page frequently, and will be publishing your comments and questions by hand. Quick guidelines: You are welcome to submit your own URLs as part of this blog; however, if there is a link or content that I feel is "questionable" or appears to be "comment spam," I will simply delete the post. This is a family oriented site, so let's keep it clean and professional. Thanks!

My Very FIRST Pair of Moccasin Shoes!

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:28:56 GMT

I first began wearing moccasin shoes when I worked at the Lane Guest Ranch in Allenspark, CO. Now this brings back memories!

Memories! Precious memories...
Just down the road (Route 7, towards Estes Park, and at the base of Longs Peak), there was a great store called Charles Eagle Plume. We frequently took our guest ranch visitors over to Charles Eagle Plume's place because it was so much more than a tourist shop. It was an absolutely amazing museum, chock full of Native American arts and crafts, jewelry, rugs, artwork - you name it!

PLUS, there was the added bonus of being able to talk with Charles Eagle Plume himself - who, in his later years was still just as cheerful and engaging as he must have been in younger years. A visit with Charles Eagle Plume was a real "feel good" experience - he would tell jokes and stories with a twinkle in his eyes that was irresistable.

And so was his shop! (Note: Charles has been gone from this world since 1992, but his shop still thrives.) Anyway, I bought my very first pair of moccasins at Charles Eagle Plumes, and wore them until there was nothing left of them. Regrettably, I do not know who made my wonderful moccasin shoes, and I never thought to take photos of them. They were so incredibly comfortable, that I loved them from the start.

Mocassins and their related mukluk footwear have a long history in North America. While most people identify moccasins with Native American culture, many do not know that the creation of moccasins is quite the wonderful artform, and beautiful examples can be seen by doing a search for authentic moccasins. Did you know that one way in which Native Americans could differentiate between one tribe and another was by their moccasin patterns and designs?
