The Patchwork Quilt and other poems

17/07/2014

I had the luxury of charity shopping today. Our local shop has opened a ‘vintage floor’

their prices are very reasonable compared to other similar vintage shops or fairs!


Today I found a bargain for 99p..

A lovely book this edition is from 1973.

It is by published by longman, we learnt french at school with longman’s books.

Does anyone else remember learning “Longmans audio visual french” ?

We sat in booths with big headphones and repeated verbs and lines, and giggled.

 I used to doodle/ design patterns on my book.

It was considered so high tech! my 12 year old would think it was something out of a museum today.

I digress

I think it is a very simple and touching poem.

The illustrations are by William Stobbs. 

A prolific children’s illustrator who died in 2000.

As a lover of the printed pattern I think they are stunning.

I also found two victory Jigsaws. I like them.

I think Heidi lived here?

…..as you read this I will be sitting outside trying to figure it out…its a big one 800 pieces.

Do you know this blog was 2 years old yesterday?

time flies when you are having fun.

I'd so appreciate you sharing this post!
