Tap Shoe Taps

I recently stumbled across these incredible vintage taps, which are the toe and heel pieces that are generally affixed to tap shoes. It was perfect...I immediately saw the necklaces they were destined for in my head and scooped them up.

I'd love to know the back story on them, for instance, if they belonged to a specific person or dance group, or if they were practice shoes vs. commercial stock shoes...the possibilities are endless. I think the one safe thing to assume is that they have been well used.

For now, I'm just sitting on them pretty and enjoying their simplicity in a group. They'll definitely be necklaces in good time, and you will be the first to see when they are complete.
