Henry's amulet
Many Feathers made Henry's first pair of shoes
when they are tiny and don't walk yet, the soles are completely beaded
The Morning Star is worked into all new born beading
Henry, named for two great grandfathers,
one German potato farmer and one Native American Choctaw--
has some big shoes to fill
but for starters,
these will do

That is SOOO interesting. I LOVE family heritage. What a beautiful family. Charles Wesley has the most beautiful cheekbones/face. The whole family is just GORGEOUS!
What a precious new child and I love the story about the shoes. Hope you have a wonderful week. xo Diana
This history is so interesting. Those wee booties are works of art. Love the footprints and ambulant,too. He is destine to greatness!
I loved this, Gina. So interesting! Henry's shoes are precious. What is Betty's name?
Oh my goodness Gina! What a beautiful heritage and family. I LOVE the beaded shoes Many Feathers made for Henry. You make me want to dig harder to find out more about my own heritage. I am half Chiricahua Apache and half German. :) I can't wait to hear what Henry's name is going to be.
your little Henry is so cute! Looking forward to hearing what name he gets.
Adorable child. Beautiful moccasins.
Exciting times in your life! Henry is adorable!
Que bela tradição de seu povo. Adorei os nome e o seu é perfeito. Aqui uma índia me nomeou de "olhos brancos", não sei o por que.Mas adorei.
Bjos tenha um ótimo dia.
What a truly inspiring family. You are very fortunate.

O valor das coisas não está no tempo que elas duram, mas na intensidade com que acontecem.
Por isso existem momentos inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis.(Fernando Sabino)
