I discovered this sandal inside an old suitcase at a recent estate sale. Sadly, its mate was nowhere to be found. I decided to buy it anyway. Art doesn't always have to be practical...

Sarsaparilla (pronounced SASS-per-ill-ah)
"She sat alone in the black attic, smelling the one smell that did not seem to fade. It lingered like a sigh of satisfaction, on the air.
She took a deep, long breath. The old, the familiar, the unforgettable scent of drugstore sarsaparilla."
-- final lines of "A Scent of Sarsaparilla" - short story by Ray Bradbury, 1953.
Fantastic. Yes definately Art & history. A treasure !
