Nostalgia!
The prompt for week 8 of the art journal was books.....and I listed Toby Twirl as one of my childhood favourites.......so imagine my surprise when I came across this in one of my local charity shops!

What an amazing find!
I found my favourite nursery rhyme book Mabel Lucy Atwel at a boot fair last year,god knows what the poor guy selling it thought about this mad woman almost hyperventilating at an old kids book!!! I then went on to amaze my 3 kids in reciting almost word perfect all the rhymes in there (a great feit as I sometimes don't remember what I have said/done 5 mins before).
Enjoy your trip down memory lane!!!
Wow I never heard of Toby Twirl but that book is definately in fab condition! Great find.
I love trips down memory lane and this is the best to see something and be able to take it home sweet!
Love Dawn xx
