Vintage Toys

I'm getting ready for Christmas. These are some of the new toys I've bought for myself.

A sweet little Doll Highchair.

A new dress for Tiny Tears.

She's still on the wish list. I haven't decided yet.

And so is she, I think I like her blond hair and her dress the best.

This is a sweet childrens book.They don't show the inside, I don't know if it has color pics or not.

But the cover is fantastic.

I won this bid. I Like the graphics.

Look what a pretty picture. I feel like I'm sitting beside my grandmother when I look at this.

Sweet times.

I'm reading this British cozy by Hazel Holt right now.

Her books never disappoint.

And somehow, we missed this book by Kristin Hannah.

My co-worker Sherry read this last night. Kept her up all night reading and crying, it was that good!

Amazon describes it as a book about triumph of hope, and the meaning of home.

Oh and Sherry has a new blog at www.sherrysscribblings.blogspot.com

She's our Genealogist at the library and if you ever need info about anyone in this part of the country, she's your go-to person.

Oh, I orded this little book the other day from amazon.

Can't wait to see it!

I just love making my Christmas List for myself, don't you?

You know, with four grown sons, and NO GRANDKIDS to play dolls with, you would think they might find their poor old mother one of these for Christmas

LOL!

Have a wonderfilled week and much Joy and Happiness

And remember, "You're never too old to have a happy childhood"

Love from me and Ms. Wilma

Vintage Graphics

Two sweet, elderly, unmarried sisters passed recently and left a house full of belongings with no heirs. Their old scrapbooks were donated to the Library Genealogy Department. Here are some of the beautiful old clippings that fell out when we opened them.

Nurse's Song

William Blake

When the voices of children are heard on the green,
And laughing is heard on the hill,
My heart is at rest within my breast,
And everything else is still.

‘Then come home, my children, the sun is gone down,
And the dews of night arise;
Come, come leave off play, and let us away
Till the morning appears in the skies.’

‘No, no, let us play, for it is yet day,
And we cannot go to sleep;
Besides, in the sky the little birds fly,
And the hills are all cover'd with sheep.’

‘Well, well, go and play till the light fades away,
And then go home to bed.’
The little ones leapèd, and shoutèd, and laugh'd
And all the hills echoèd.

~ENJOY~

Pumpkins for Pink Saturday

Happy Pink Saturday

Pumpkins are the theme this week.

They're everywhere you look!

Orange ones and white ones

Ugly ones and painted ones!

You can make a pumpkin pie

And wash it down with a nice pink float.

You could make a playhouse out of one,

Plant the seeds from one,

Maybe even ride away with one.

Ms. Wilma, hubby and  I are riding off tomorrow afternoon,

After work, we may go here.

Check out the old cars.

Well, I believe we'll have seafood instead, Flo!

Hope you all have a happy and safe

Pink Saturday

and Sunday

Orange Cupcake Toppers

Don't you love Halloween?

It's so much fun to make Halloween decorations.

A little clay, paint, pipe cleaners, crepe paper and hot glue.

I made these pumpkins a couple of years ago with Styrofoam balls covered with Paper Perfect, then painted.

Rubber stamps are fun and easy. Stamps are from http://www.redlead.typepad.com/

They are my favorite shop for papercraft supplies.

And look what sweet Erica at http://goldeneggvintage.blogspot.com/ sent to me to cheer me up after my knee surgery! She knows I love Mary Englebreit!

I just love my blogging friends. Thank you Erica.

Check out these scary Halloween books to read in October.

They are sure to scare you--and good!

Wilma is trying to pick out the cutest costume to wear this year. She says she wants to scare Huey!

Happy Haunting,

from me and Ms. Wilma
