Also love that LMS poster and the folk image for July - would be nice to see some of the others too as the months go by. Those 1930s travel posters are just fabulous aren't they? I would love to have travelled then by train or on one of the great liners or on an Imperial Airways flying boat. So much more glamorous than it is today. Sounds as though you've been working hard and having fun as you did it.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526387584381191607.post-91643821701949948272009-07-22T10:37:37.704-05:002009-07-22T10:37:37.704-05:00Tom, you are right....as always.

He asked me to write down his words under the pictures as he retold the story. He had watch the Ingrid Bergman film with me when I was reviewing for our library at school. He became facinated by her faith and bravery. I had not seen this little family treasure in many years.FireLighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807248509319526615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526387584381191607.post-43101937579342691432009-07-22T10:00:16.473-05:002009-07-22T10:00:16.473-05:00I think perhaps the biggest blessing of your chore...I think perhaps the biggest blessing of your chores has been the time to think and remember things as you came across your treasures.

I love the photo! My male Bernese had the same thing for squirrels & the big maple tree in the front yard!<br />Michael, I have had that poster for over 30 years, and have been to England many times, but have not been to Lincoln yet! I must put that on my list along with Cheshire, Rowan's many travel destinations, Sir Derrick & Melrose (Scotland), Cait's smallest town in Wales! And yes, my dogs are soooo spoiled! They are getting older...maybe I will change the name of our house to GrayDog Cottage soon! {chuckling}<br />Now Derrick, don't hold your breath, sweetheart! If you haven't noticed yet,I may be ADD - caught it from students- but I have made a list of the topics for posts that come to mind while I am busy doing something else.

I like your travel posters as well. We were in Connemara a couple of years ago; beautiful scenery. Looking forward to discovering all those ideas you've been having!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526387584381191607.post-84565306880317922502009-07-20T12:34:31.923-05:002009-07-20T12:34:31.923-05:00Great to see you back Marnie..great photo glimpses...Great to see you back Marnie..great photo glimpses.

My linen press is bursting at the seams but my problem is, I can't toss out perfectly good curtains and bits of lovely fabrics. <br /><br />I must also get around to dressing my doll I was given by Aunty Olive when I was three - she's sitting on a chair with the original petticoat, a baby jacket and bare feet and looks so cold.alaine@éclectiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367208674281749257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526387584381191607.post-52772075670019367862009-07-19T21:10:22.472-05:002009-07-19T21:10:22.472-05:00Willow, a man at the campus market every Thursday ...Willow, a man at the campus market every Thursday has been bringing these beets. They are done by an Amish group out of Iowa. The baby beets are super duper! My hubby LOVES them, and so do I! I should have said how much cooking I have been doing! Sheesh, I need to get back to school so I can get some rest!

I would spend hours and hours pouring over them. <br /><br />Your doggies are adorable. <br /><br />Love the new header.<br /><br />And I adore picked beets, btw. No one else at the manor eats them, so I always buy a jar or two for myself!Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.com
