I have an old friend that lives in my family room,
He's a quiet unassuming little fellow.
My parents bought him for me when I was just a baby,
as he had been gifted to others years and years before.
I brought him up to the Dining Room where the light is better. I'm so glad my parents didn't repaint him or change him. He was given to me again back in the early 80's. I didn't remember him, but he had been kept safe in the loft of my Dad's garage workshop. I'm so glad that we were reunited all those years ago. He has been a joy to have, and each time I see him I think who might have climbed upon his little sturdy body and ridden off into the world of their imagination.
May you remember lovely images
of your childhood Christmases,
Debra
What a beauty! One of these days you need to show full shots of some of your rooms. Your vignettes are so pretty and I'd love to see how it goes together. I'm just saying. :)
ReplyDeletewhat memories you must have on such an incredible gift! What a beauty, how lucky you are to still have it. tis the season for memories. I just posted a picture of myself as a little girl with my Santa doll...

Your horse is an amazing treasure. But for it to have been your own toy as a child, that is even more wonderful. It must seem like a dear old friend you can use to access those prescious childhood memories.

I love your rocking horse and the story that goes with it! The one I posted today came in from our garage. The story is that we were visiting friends who had just moved and we noticed this horse lying on a burn pile. Upon inquiring we found it needed minor repair which my husband did swiftly. Now it resides on a wooden box in front of our stairway, under the eight stockings hung for our grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely blog!! Glad to have found you!! Need to run, but will certainly be back.
