Yours to print and share... from me to you!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

What brings you back to childhood?

Toys!

Vintage toys to be exact, as I am quite vintage myself (LOL!)

As I surf the net on my most modern and state of the art Mac set up, I find constant reminders of playthings from my past and take great joy and remembering these small bits of my history and those special friends whom I shared them with.

Plastic play wigs were quite chic to a six-year-old

 when paired with a pair of mules made of

pink glittery plastic!

Then there was Ken, boyfriend to Barbie,

but every little girl's ideal... or so we thought

until we discovered rock stars and rock music!

See the green convertible? That was one of my

favorite Christmas gifts. Ken took my Barbie on many

a romantic drive in that  baby!

What have you come across that takes you back to those

days when the most you had to think about was whose

house you were going to go play at that day?

Valentine's Are For Lovers

I have always adored the art of

Harrison Fisher (1877 - 1934),

best known for his lovely illustrations

depicting societies ideal of feminine

beauty at the turn of the century and

edwardian eras.

His women were "strong with vitality

 of buoyant good health,  fresh with

clear-eyed brightness, athletic, cheerful,

sympathetic and beautiful."

(Sounds like the ideal woman

today, doesn't it?)

His illustrations appeared in

the Saturday Evening Post,

Ladies Home Journal,

Scribner's, Life and Cosmopolitan.

Who doesn't love lovers in love?

Happy Valentine's Day!
