New Old Boots

 Looking through my winter wardrobe 

I was lacking a pair of really good brown boots

I did have though a pair of light tan boots that I really liked 

but didn't seem to wear as often as I might simply because 

well, light tan isn't the boot I want to put on every day 

so out came the implements

Good shoe brushes

and good polish 

(I recently learned that you set the polish alight for a moment

which makes it turn liquid and solves the crumbly problem)

+

a little elbow grease 

and my tan boots 

were transformed to a beautiful pair of brown boots that 

I have worn non stop 

and didn't spend a cent on 

I particularly like the way the brown polish caught 

in the seams
