Day One Hundred and Seventy

Something We Don't Know About You

Something you might not know about me is that I love to collect vintage books, especially Little Golden Books. Last year I became obsessed with one of their artists, Eloise Wilkin, who illustrated for Little Golden Books for many years. She is known for these beautiful cherubic images of children. The stories in the books are just so simple and sweet, I love the details she puts into her pictures such as the wallpaper and clothes that are all so distinctly from the 60's and 70's era. I have always loved to read and now I try to share that with my children, I think that I enjoy the stories more than they do!

To inject a little inspiration into my blog this month, I have decided to play along with the challenge presented on Fat Mum Slims blog (www.fatmumslim.com.au) and for today the theme was Day 18: Something we don't know about you
