Sweet Treats

One of the sweetest treats I know: grab a cup of hot tea and call an illustration buddy for some art chat.

Mmmmm...better than doughnuts!

Sweet treats

One word - cookies!

Theme: Sweet Treats

My "Sweet treats" came to me via a moving box that my parents brought me last week. They are in the process of moving here (Nevada) and they came across a bunch of my childhood books while they were packing.
When I opened the box and how I was immediately transported to another place and time. I won't bore you with ALL of them. Here are just a few. Most were published in the early 60's & 70's...

"Dandelion Books". Oh, how I loved these. On one side you'd have one story then flippo, presto change-o ,you'd have a second story on the other side!

My first "Mother Goose" book. I'll have to share interior spreads in another post some time because the vintage illustrations are delightful.

I guess this was the british equivalent to "Madeline". Same sort of illustrations and writing format.

I bet you all didn't know that I spoke fluent German as a toddler? Yes, I really did. I can still feel myself speaking it and knowing that it felt "normal".

My mum is from England so I spent many summers there. I always looked forward to being able to watch Tony Hart on the 'teli' when we arrived. I collected his books to take back to the 'states'. I ADORED this man and all the fun projects he'd teach.

Thanks for indulging my stroll down memory lane!

Weekly Theme: "Sweet Treats"

I received this from my little friend, Abbey, who wants to be an artist too. Is there anything sweeter than receiving artwork from kids?
