Canvas Rx

A couple weeks ago, I bought myself a new pair of canvas loafers – the kind I grew up calling Tennie-Loafers and Honey’s Uncle Larry insisted on calling Pimp Pumps.  In the past, the ones I had were always white (or started out that way) but these are black.  That may not have been the best color choice.

I was sanitizing the fresh water tank on our camper Thursday, and I managed to drip Clorox on the left one.

As you can see, it totally obliterated that new shoe look and left some really obvious spots.

Not willing to leave it that way, I grabbed a big black Marks-A-Lot marker to see if I could hide the blemishes.  The marker was old, and too dry to do much good, so I switched to a Sharpie.  The Sharpie took a lot longer, and I may need to do it all again, but it worked pretty well.

 

Now that I’m seeing the pictures, I do think the shoes would look better with socks.
