The slippers are on their way to Mini-Soda. Estimated delivery day is Saturday. Priority Mail used to be 2-day. Then, it was 3-day. Now, it’s four days to get there, with no guarantee, but at least we get a tracking number, and loss insurance for up to $50 is included, whether we want it or not. Suede and shearling could probably get run over by a fully loaded tractor trailer and survive, so even if the box gets beat up in transit, the contents should be fine. I used a pretty sturdy box, though, and clear Gorilla Tape.
We sent the recipient the tracking number so that if she wants to track it, she can. If the slippers don’t fit her, they might fit our niece. But, my S-I-L is just wacky enough to keep them for herself as long as they fit her. They are cozy, comfy, and warm. They’re not ugly. They just are probably mass produced, although sellers like to pretend their granny in the “old country” hand made them. Maybe — but in a factory, ’cause granny in a former SSR can’t afford to retire.
