Finding such treasures brings so many emotions, especially if you remember the history or the circumstances of creating them! I, myself, have a few and I try to keep my son's "pieces of art" made at school or at home, for pleasure. This tiny wagon reminds you of a difficult moment in your life, but sharing it with us, you awoke so many p[recious memories... So, thank you!:)rossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-53303647053179733192010-09-14T15:20:20.642+01:002010-09-14T15:20:20.642+01:00It's gorgeous - thank goodness you didn't ...It's gorgeous - thank goodness you didn't throw it out!<br />And, sorry about Hercules, but isn't Margery adorable?

Of course as a greedy visitor I am hoping for a late summer/early autumn video. Well...this fan can be a bit demanding.<br /><br />The air has definitely made that subtle change from summer to fall here in NY. Keeping to the vehicle theme, on the subway train system it is no longer quite so steamy hot waiting for a train on the platform. Think that budget cutbacks have definitely lengthenened the waiting time between trains though.<br /><br />I currently transcend this pain by burying my head in the new David Mitchell book, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, and time travel to old Japan.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-4536581925838527202010-09-12T23:39:08.859+01:002010-09-12T23:39:08.859+01:00It has a magical look, like a circus wagon!It has a magical look, like a circus wagon!Wanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-33583953541134674812010-09-12T23:07:06.380+01:002010-09-12T23:07:06.380+01:00Oh Gretel, what a wonderful wagon,so glad you didn...Oh Gretel, what a wonderful wagon,so glad you didn't throw it away.<br />I'm sure it has been part of some wonderful adventures,it just oozes fun and excitement.<br /><br />Speaking about adventures,how is Marjorie and has she taken you on any Autumn picnics lately?Sweet Birdy Lovenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-86692104849349794302010-09-12T22:02:48.827+01:002010-09-12T22:02:48.827+01:00That is just so amazingly clever and beautiful (I ...That is just so amazingly clever and beautiful (I want to say just like you, but then you'd never talk to me again, haha!).
