I love this!! Thank you for sharing. 😊

I bought a pair of your insoles yesterday and put them in my hiking boots this morning. My cat has decided that the trimmings from the insoles make fun toys and has christened them "Wormy" (because all his toys have names). In this photo he has caught Wormy and is holding it down so it won't get away, ha. :-D I should have gotten a cat toy too!

Who knew? This is the first winter season we have sold our felt wool insoles and people love them! Our best selling item at the bazaar. Sales were down from last year though. Not sure why but I know I will be making more insoles for the upcoming shows. Just getting ready to pack up this show. It's been fun. 😊
