Who's Hiding In That Pickle Jar?

My collection of vintage baby shoes is sprinkled about the house

 and I stash the rest in this huge pickle jar.

 After seeing Manon's post featuring the cutest little red shoes...

I decided I needed this tiny red pair for a Christmas display...

 ...so I dumped the jar out on the table.

Wait!

 Do you see what I see?

Look at this charming little fellow nestled in that old shoe!

Where did he come from?

hmmm....I have no idea....

OK, so I told a tall tale....(tail?)

:)

My girlfriend Paula gave me this cute little Christmas mouse in the old Victorian shoe when I visited last week.

Thank you Paula!

He is a Cathy Pendleton original creation.

Too cute!

Just one more sleep till Santa comes!

Merry Christmas friends!
