Even the mail needs a little help keeping warm this winter.
Maybe that’s the goal of someone who has carefully placed crocheted booties on the front legs of a pair of blue collection boxes in Woodbury, MN.
The boxes are outside city hall and a bagel shop. The unique footwear, fastened with bows in the back, draws plenty of double takes and smiles from passersby.
The mystery good Samaritan has been dressing the boxes for at least a year, a customer tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
In December, the booties had a Christmas theme. The red February booties were decorated with hearts.
