Because my name is Mary, I had a sweet riding lamb that looked like it when I was little. It was one a toddler would ride with a wooden dowel through the neck for my chubby little hands to hold as I pushed it with my feet. Remember that, Joni? <br />Loved the idea of framing these prints. I've done that with pictures from the old book "Blueberries For Sal" which is one of my favorites from childhood. These framed pictures are hanging in my kitchen. I just love to use pictures from books as art instead of buying an unimaginative mass-produced picture to hang. Sometime you'll have to show a post of your Audubon Society prints framed in barnwood. They're very handsome too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-16225061440495721202009-03-04T20:12:00.000-05:002009-03-04T20:12:00.000-05:00Hi all!

Zita, your idea about framing these as prints is a good one, I should look for the proper frame, I could line my whole stairway and hall upstairs with the happy children's books I've collected! (We just painted all of the landing and stairway, so I've been thinking of something to decorate with and that's the perfect suggestion!) Have a great day all!Old Centennial Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865061855481840216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-10188588485167428542009-03-04T19:44:00.000-05:002009-03-04T19:44:00.000-05:00I have stacks of vintage Golden Books and like you...I have stacks of vintage Golden Books and like you, I love the illustrations and the stories.

I love your posts--thanks for having such a great blog. <BR/><BR/>Those books are a wonderful find--I wouldn't be able to part with them either. In fact, I just picked up two very vintage children's books at our local thrift store--for me to read to my 3 yr old gr. girl and for me to read to ME! I have all of the books from my own two kiddo's wee days and I read them to her. It does bring such joy (all over again) to have her cuddle and hang on every word (she hangs on MOST of the time!).<BR/><BR/>Keep up your wonderful blogging work!

I'd choose the wooly lamb that bounces like a popcorn ball or baby goat with head as hard as a coconut. <BR/>Sorry, I can’t choose the field mouse, although I love berries... I've been too traumatized by 'his' relatives scampering through our country home instead of the hay:) Blessings, aaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-31979640617725023922009-03-03T21:30:00.000-05:002009-03-03T21:30:00.000-05:00I remember this book from my childhood.LorriI remember this book from my childhood.<BR/>LorriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-29855760164774254952009-03-03T20:38:00.000-05:002009-03-03T20:38:00.000-05:00I just bought one today called 'The Jolly Farmhous...I just bought one today called 'The Jolly Farmhouse'...it's a golden and SO cute- my husband doesn't wear overalls ALL the time (lol) but it pretty much sums up our place!<BR/><BR/>Hey- you mentioned you were looking for a curtain style: well: SHOW ME!! and I'll be HAPPY to give you my ideas :)<BR/>What do you say "neighbor" (even though I'm not a stones throw, you ARE my virtual neighbor aren't you?)<BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/>Anne MarieAnne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570313791042086593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-91912571676065145192009-03-03T20:26:00.000-05:002009-03-03T20:26:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
