Just popping in to show you my latest edition to my ever growing Ladybird book collection....
I don't remember this one..... do you?
I always find a ladybird book when I go to Oxfam but I was giving up hope & was just about to leave when I spotted it.
Some beautiful pictures inside....
I love this one...
I've been busy making lavender bags....
It's been very rewarding using my lavender that I spent hours dying last summer!
I've added them to my Folksy shop this week.
Another spring picture to make you smile
Off to Cardiff today for a meeting...... hoping to find time to check out the charity shops as I've heard they're very good! My parents are very kindly driving me so I don't have to put up with the 3 hours each way train journey! So hopefully it won't be such a long day.
Back soon
I do love a ladybird book! Your knitted lavender bags are wondeful, very fine intarsia knitting x
ReplyDeleteLost at the Fair does look familiar! I had sooo many when I was little. Hope you find nice things in the CS's. Lizzie x
ReplyDeleteIt's time for me to resist Ladybird books and I'm selling my collection!

I remember the pictures of lost at the fair but I cant remember the story. I know we had that book at home. My Mum loved ladybird books and we had loads. I might start looking out for some, they bring back tons of memories x
ReplyDeletethat looks a lovely book - I love all those older style illustrations - we were so lucky, when our neighbours moved they gifted us loads of ladybird books, some older, some newer, but we've been so lucky to have such a great start on a collection.
ReplyDeleteI also have some old Noddy books - love the illustrations in those too (and the complete lack of pc attitude - can't bear the new RightOnNoddy - just so silly).
Hope you had a good time in Cardiff, I love it there, although haven't been for a few years now - seems to have all the buzz of a big city but not so sprawling if you know what I mean!
I love Ladybird books too. Well any child like illustrated books really!
ReplyDeleteHope your meeting went well and the charity shops served you well :) x
Lovely lavender bags! And the Ladybird book illustrations are so charming! I must look for them over here -- never heard of them before.
