These boots are made for walking

It has been a warm winter in New England with no accumulated snow for the last three months, but other parts of the country have not been so lucky. A boot tray can expedite the drying of your boots. Plastic ones are available at most hardware stores (and can be spray painted to match your décor). If you live in a child free, pet free household, this DIY option with pebbles could be very attractive.

I painted a battered roasting pan from the parish rummage sale with outdoor spray paint, then lined the interior with a piece of cork. Egg cartons help tall boots keep their shape.
