{The Wall}

Saturday, January 29, 2011












This morning we went to breakfast at the new little place up the street then stopped in the comic book store next door, then stopped at the thrift store a few blocks away.
For $5.75 we got the airplane, the creepy baby doll  and this awesome little suitcase.
 Look at that suitcase! 
 I sware my heart skipped a beat when I saw it (hello, drama queen). But really, I have been looking for a kid-sized one for a while and actually wonder if this did not once hold a little record player. 
And check out the stickers. I wanted to take a few quick pictures of the kids and remembered this old building...so we did a quick U-turn and headed downtown. The kids were good sports today and there was really no complaining. It was a little cold but I was really fast and they survived. 
And the wall... love that wall.
Oh- and if you think her outfit looks familiar, you're right. She loves herself in this outfit  that
she "made up herself". Please note that her shirt, skirt, tights and hair ribbon all have polka dots on them. Oh, to be four years old.

  3. Love it when kids pick their clothes... she looks great! I love that you allow it too. I let my eldest chose her clothes at the weekend and she looks like a colour explosion! The wall pictures remind me of 70's in England... hanging about on the street playing 'May I'... Take care. Lx

  5. Ooh...I do like that wall. And that suitcase too! My mother-in-law collects old suitcases and I have dibs on them if she ever decides to get rid of them.

    My eldest used to "match" stripes together. :)
