I don't need another globe but I would really like another light-up one.
I have one already that sits on a bookcase in the hallway upstairs but I kinda
want one for the main floor, too.
I do love the pretty blues in this globe though.
At our old house we did have a rotary phone that worked, like these, but I think maybe
it stopped working... I forget now. We also had one of those little built-in things in our living
room that was just for a rotary phone. I loved that.
I want a cukoo clock so bad. So, so bad.
I would really like the kind where the little girl and boy come out...man, they are so
expensive though, I am on the hunt though...
Look at this.
I am in LOVE with this Little Red Riding Hood picture.
I did buy this, I could not pass it up.
They actually came as a set of 6 place mats although they did not seem thick enough
at all to be used as place mats if you ask me, more like card stock.
Anyway, this is going to be framed and hung in Miss Charlotte's bedroom.
We spent a long time going through a big box of pictures that the owner told us he had
bought at the family's estate sale.
Little tiny black and white pictures, mostly from 1955-1958, belonging to one family.
It always seems kind of sad to me.
Why didn't someone in the family keep these pictures?
It was their whole life, all of their family vacations and holidays.
Birthday parties.
I considered buying the whole box for a split second but instead settled on a few.
I love the family vacation ones, those are my favorite. And the cowboy birthday party.
To.die.for.
happy monday.
hope everyone is enjoying a day off today!
Saturday sounds like the perfect day! Bit jealous... !! x
ReplyDeleteAll this pictures bring me back to my childhood...the rotary phone, the globe, the Little Red Riding Hood picture...so sweet . My grandma still has similar cuckoo clock with a cuckoo that emerges with each note ...( kind of annoying sometimes :) Thank you !
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of cookoo clocks. I'd like more, maybe a several on one wall. I don't understand the photo thing either. My father has Alzheimer's and when it really comes down to it, there is no possession that is going to mean anything in the end. My dad and I spend hours going through photo albums. He can't always recognize the photos, but he enjoys looking at the photos of family.
ReplyDeleteoh my gooooodness!! great stuff. i would have had a hard time restraining myself :)
ReplyDeleteI once picked up a postcard at a antique store and started to read the letter that was on the back. I felt like such an intruder. So I know what you mean by the pictures. However... they are art. That is how I would view them anyway. ;)
