...today i had a quiet thrifty wander...
...seeking but not knowing
what i was looking for.....
...until i found it...
..a lovely old ladybird book...
(99p!!)
..the lovely illustrations are by a.j.macgregor...
..the little boy reminded me of someone..
...he is very like christopher robin....
...my special doll is made by the
artist r.john.wright...
..he lives in my guest room with all of his friends....
...i was so lucky to be given
this wonderful collection when my squirrel parents moved house....
..the attention to detail is amazing...
..these little sandals have perfect little buckles..
(i think piglet is my favourite)
...so in finding this book...
...i re-found some treasure...
..that was already mine.
..what a lucky day!

Gosh you have the sweetest things..... :) x
ReplyDeleteThat's fab. How wonderful to have squirrelling parents. My other half and I are always lamenting that our parents have long since given away anything we would appreciate. So nice to know your parents value them. I most love those little sandals, would love to be able to get some "real" ones for the munchkin.

Amazing ... the detail is so fantastic ... what a lot of lovely treasure you have ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteYou're right, your Christopher Robin does look like the boy in the book! An amazing doll, what a gentle face he has :) A beautiful collection! My parents were squirrels of the worst kind, but the stuff I dragged out of their house wasn't nearly so fun as this. Wendy

Beautiful collection! How lucky you are to own it. Sometimes thrifted treasures come along that just seem to scream serendipity, don't they? The dog in the book reminds me of mine, too! x

Oh my goodness!!! I knew EXACTLY what that book was from just the top of the 1st picture, as I scrolled down! It was my absolute favourite when I was little! Although I wouldn't let my mom or dad read the sad bit in the middle. The had to skip it and just read the beginning and happy ending! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing back that memory!!!
