You never know what turns up when you holiday in Victoria's birth place....there's so much history and so many wonderful vintagey collectables to enjoy...
I had a wonderful afternoon admiring these and many many more.....
these horsey books are great. They always have the same theme. Do you know it?
Shell May I thought of you when I found this one....
Some have very dear dedications and dates in the front of them.
just adored these sweet children playing in the woods with bunnies, squirrels, butterflies, daisies, toadstools and birdies
children sure did have short shorts and dresses then...
and they all happily drank plain milk with mommy

Yes indeed I love that book! Old books are so charming!

Oh Catherine..seeing those made me remember my collection of Girls Crystal and other annuals I had. My Mum bought them for me for Xmas every year, and I do wish I'd been able to keep them all these years. But where the heck do you put all those things from your childhood? I wish I'd known about storage companies years ago, although I probably wouldn't have been able to afford to store all the stuff I wish I'd kept!

Those old books are great. My mum still has hers in an old trunk in the shed. I remember as a child sitting in my room reading them on a cold winters day. Alex has enjoyed reading them as well. My sister & I will be fighting over them and the trunk. Hmm maybe I can bribe mum now.
