Oak Leaf Brooches
I have this sizeable backyard that is really an oak forest, with never a loss for oak leaves...so yes, I'm kind of wallowing in them...
they did however inspire me to make this copper foil oak leaf cluster and jade acorn brooch from a partially broken green jade brooch - so literally from items I had lying around the home!

Grecian Sandals at Melissinos in Athens
I fondly remember seeing travel ads during my childhood in Australia that featured handmade leather Greek sandals. These Greek gladiator style sandals made by Melissinos in Athens, Greece are called "No 7 Cleopatra" sandals...
or with two straps at the ankle...
