Delicate homemade baby booties that took hours to crochet by hand were found by Josh Wagner in an old home, according to the Union County Heritage Museum.
The museum described the booties as a homemade gift whose young wearer was too young to appreciate the work involved at the time. It asked whether others had a treasured homemade baby gift.
