I love vintage craft books and have so many which I haven't yet shared with you that I thought it was about time to do a bit of Show n Tell.

I can just see a bunch Primroses and a bold egg with toast brought to me on it one morning. Yum.

This is a little toy I picked up a while ago - but it sort of sums up the state I'm in at the moment.(see Appletree Cottage Blog)
The duck floats in your bath whilst you wave the magnetic wand to make it go a bit crazy...I think that is the idea??? Although the duck is looking at that wand as though it is a hammer ready to bludgeon it doesn't it?
I do feel as though someone somewhere has cast their magic wand over me, giving me the life I always dreamed of having - although I am also like the duck, with no sense of direction and at the mercy of the wand.

It's amazing the lengths I will go to recapture the magic of my childhood. All the picture books I poured over as a child have been lost, so when I see one at a CS, CB or Ebay and leap at it, like it belongs to me (perhaps it did?)
So when I saw this one on Ebay in America, I had to have it. It was a small book, just right for little hands. Oh and look it's Educationally Sound too.
I remember tracing the yellow ribbon over and over with my finger across the page.
I remember wishing a lamb would follow me to school. Or at least having something love me so much that it couldn't bear to be without me.
I remember wishing I went to a school like Mary's and having a dress like hers.
But I don't remember this last verse at all.
Do you?
