Usually big man-sized slippers, but it was the most hospitable gesture in the world, even if you had to clomp around or shuffle down the hallway to the kitchen or living room.

Sometimes Sally comes by and brings her dog into my house. I don't think a container on the baseboard with jelly beans and plastic crocodiles would be a good idea then.<BR/><BR/>Not to say they wouldn't be appropriate elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Zoom, thanks so much for the slipper idea. The container wouldn't be big enough for my give-away box. I already have a couple of shelves in the lounge devoted to that.David Scrimshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714106408606785482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-32713394970587452242007-03-09T08:56:00.000-05:002007-03-09T08:56:00.000-05:00Jellybeans mixed with plastic crocodiles.Jellybeans mixed with plastic crocodiles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-56055691975509054172007-03-09T00:28:00.000-05:002007-03-09T00:28:00.000-05:00It's right by the entry way?

How about slippers and hand-knit socks for guests, so their feet don't get cold?<BR/><BR/>Or it could be your "give-away" box, where you put stuff you don't want anymore and encourage your friends to rifle through it and take what they want.<BR/><BR/>Gorgeous painting, by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
