Board crafts custom-made shoes, from soft-rounded kitten heels to knee-length studded leather boots. Her mother taught her to sew when she was in her early teens. Board spent seven months learn- ing the almost lost craft of shoemaking from two theatrical shoe- makers in Canada. After graduating with a degree in textile design from Rhode Island School of Design, she spent several years making costumes for regional theaters in New England. She also had a short apprenticeship with a milliner in London. Board now makes shoes by hand in her small studio in Holyoke, Mass., under the name El Diablo Shoes. See examples of her work online at www.zerkahloostrah.etsy.com. Davidson is one of Board’s students and is also a resident and businesswoman in Woodstock. Woodstock’s shoe manufacturing business began in 1833. By 1845, it employed 9,825 men and women who produced more than five million pairs of shoes, according to “The History of Windham County, CT, 1889.” In the 1930s and ’40s, even factory-made shoes came in different widths, but modern shoes are now sized to fit a generic foot that seldom exists. Board focuses on comfort and style that cannot be achieved on a factory scale. She values the process of creation — every shoe is made to measure for a client’s foot before a stitch of leather is sewn onto the last.

his is really one of Woodstock's most unique properties, maybe you have seen it nes- Ttled back among the pines over-looking the stream & the pond and wondered who are the lucky ones who live there? It gives the feeling of having been well sited years ago and of maintaining this privacy and position with quiet grace. The South and East boundaries are bordered by "open space". The house was built in 1930, with 3 bedrooms upstairs, a large bathroom, a walk-up attic. On the main floor are the spacious livingroom with fireplace, din- ingroom with built-in cabinets & chair-rail, country kitchen with island, and a familyroom w/ half-bath and laundry annex. There is a walk-out basement partially finished w/ bath for the hobbiest, a two car garage, and you can walk from the diningroom onto the screened porch from which you can watch the herons fishing in the pond, or the kids ice-skating on Christmas day. There is also a large terrace and deck off the family room for barbecue parties or? The land is mostly flat in back, a generous 4.20 acres, looking like a park with stately old-growth pines. There is a gambrel barn with storage above and 3 horse stalls and tack room built-in below. The stream meanders along the borders of the property, and there is a pleasant path cleared along- side for enjoying the forest and the sound of water. All this might seem to be out in the "hinter- lands", but it is most conveniently located within 2mi of Woodstock schools, and 3 mi of down- town Putnam shops, gas/convenience store and restaurants within 1mi!!
