2 & 3. All about love. A handmade card made by me to give to my hubby and a delicious creation made by Miss 9 especially for her Dad. She spend quite a bit of time carving this master piece.
4, 5 & 6. A visit to a favourite vintage shop. Did you have a Sindy doll growing up? I did and I only ever had one Barbie doll, I do wish I kept them.
7. I love old brick buildings full of character.
8. Standing on the front porch watching the rain fall and one of my favourite succulent plants.
9. A couple of treasures I bought on my little wander.
10. The progress on my shawl.
I hope your week was a wonderful one. I joining in with the lovely Em today.

Hi Catherine..I never had a Sindy..only her little sister. I desperately wanted one though and all my friends had them. I also wanted a toy washing machine..why?..though I never got one of those either. I have been playing with the real thing though for years now and the desire has well and truly worn off!
ReplyDeleteI had two Barbies. One with the long hair and one that I chopped the hair off to make a "Ken"! Think we sold them along with oodles of clothes at the flea market when I was a teen. Wish I'd kept them too :( Your shawl looks will be so beautiful! ANd what a gorgeous space to visit...all those suitcases had me gasping. Hope your week is beautiful :) x
ReplyDeleteI love that old building. I never had barbies or the like...which is probably why my daughter has so many???. wow now that's a vintage shop....funny to see one so bright!....the ones around here are all a bit gloomy x
ReplyDeleteOhh that stack of suitcases. how perfect.

Beautiful photos, Beautiful blog!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Catherine! That slice/cookies looks divine :) I remember Barbie's being ridiculously over priced when I was little and yes I had many Sindy dolls! Now my daughter has at least 9 Barbies including 2 Ken dolls... I remember always wanting a Cabbage Patch doll.

Awww Catherine...you just took me back to my childhood with your wonderful photos! I had that strawberry shortcake vase and i still have that book...it was also Miss Teen's favourite...what finds you had! That slice has made my mouth water...i do hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
ReplyDeletei didn't have sindy or barbie :( so when my big girls were little they had lots. luckily we gave them all away and they aren't hanging around for jess as i am so not into the mass marketed toy scene this time around.
ReplyDeletelovely photos and lucky you having such a sweet husband making you a card!
So much loveliness here Catherine! I would have taken that vintage apricot frock AND 3 or 4 of those vintage suitcases home with me. And your shawl is looking gorgeous. That stitch is lovely whatever it is. I noticed how Alicia blocked hers to make the stars open up really big but it look fab as a tighter knit like this as well. Mel x
ReplyDeleteOh my I love every one of these photos.
ReplyDeleteI had a Sindy doll, my Mum considered Barbie too buxom and American!!!!! I wasn't much interested in them though, my sister played with them more than me.
Your shawl looks lovely, I have crochet envy :)
