Few things make me happier than uncovering a relic from my childhood that evokes a delightful memory from a simpler time. While I was out “digging” last weekend at an estate sale in an original 1950’s house in an old Santa Ana neighborhood, I came across these authentic, child’s 1950’s leather, hand-stitched cowboy boots.

What surprised me most, was the amazing condition they were in, especially since back then, way before video games, children got their action adventure fix from playing games like Cowboys and Indians. I pleasantly recalled my best friend Billy who lived in the house behind us, coming to play totally decked out in his wrangler attire. I was his “girlfriend” at age 5, but that didn’t stop him from wanting to take on a rugged role and battle with me using our plastic weapons. He cherished his cowboy boots more than anything, and now I have a much better understanding of why. What an innocent era it was with Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, and Hollywood making heroes out of cowboys and fashion icons out of cowboy boots.
