My Bagpuss Girls

If you don't know about Bagpuss this is him.... He was a "saggy, old, cloth cat.....but Emily loved him" It was my favourite TV show when I was a little girl in the 1970s. Emily used to find a 'thing' and leave it at the shop (that didn't sell anything) and when Bagpuss woke up all his friends woke up and together with the help of a Marvelous Magnificent Mouse Organ, a few ballads and Bagpuss magic - the 'thing' would be mended and go into the shop window for all to see. Now apart from the fact that I think my love of thrifting started because of this show, I also envied Emily and her beautiful hair and her seemingly idyllic life. So, in tribute to Emily, I took some snaps of my girls, to remind me of the wonders of childhood and to look upon with a great big, contented Bagpuss sigh. TTFN xxxx

  7. I really like this post; I found it whilst looking for Bagpuss pictures (reminiscing on my childhood), and I like that you took pictures of your girls in the style of Emily. :)
