I'm absolutely delighted this little peek into Andreth's life appealed to you! It was one of those that just popped into my mind from who-knows-where. (Although it was Lferion/Wander's quilt that led to her mum being so skilled with textiles, and teaching her about plant dyes, so perhaps that's where the fabric nature of the shoes comes from.)

In their relatively rural/outdoorsy lifestyle (as I envision it), I think fabric shoes like these would be a real indulgence, especially for someone who would likely outgrow them soon.  Although I guess they would be willingly received as hand-me-downs. (Her younger sister Beril probably kept eagerly suggesting they had become too small for Andreth!)

The useful plants are a recurring theme in my tales with Andreth and Adanel, and the shoes are waiting in the the wings for their next appearance...

Thanks so much for sharing your enjoyment of this!
