Lest We Forget

I always think of my dear grandparents on Anzac Day.

I was very lucky to have all four when I was still in my late 20's. Pop (Dad's dad) was in the war - I believe as a tailor which was his trade.

Time to stop talking about it... I "will" start writing down our family history - starting on Monday which is my daughter's 4th birthday when mum and dad will be down from the country.

Yesterday I went op shopping, one of my absolute pet loves. I love the fact that I am also giving to charity when I am shopping for treasures.

I found this beautiful vintage frame with the picture of this sweet girl still inside. I opened the frame this morning, and the only thing on the back was "November 1943". Who is she?

She is such a little luv.

My other pet love is photography. I love the old days of film, I wonder what sort of camera was used to take this beautiful photo?

So many questions... Where are the answers?

Have a wonderful day, and lets start asking as many questions as four year old children do!!! We must keep these memories alive for other little luvs.

Riding around on my push bike honey

I've had a few customers ask me recently about a little bike sitting in my front yard. Is he for sale?

I then had a friend ask if she could please photograph my vintage bikes as part of her photographic studies.

Got me thinking, I think I have a bike problem!

It started with this little red and yellow trike. I have had her for about 20 years. For once I can't even remember where I got her, which is unusual for me! Usually when I buy vintage goodies, I can always recollect where they came from.

Who doesn't like bikes - especially ones that have been around the block more than a few times!
