A Doodle Of Coincidence





listening to the rain bucket down tonight. and painting again. my new (old) favourite thing.

funny...no spooky that this pic was taken on my phone a year ago today when i checked the details to note in my sketch book. elsa wearing one of my baby dresses (circa 1970s). and those sandals that i adored on her teeny feet all last summer. so buttery soft. some things i just can't part with.

jenny...thank you! i would love to work on some pictures for you. promise an email to arrange it this week xXx

  1. I too have things from Ruby that I will never part with. Those little sandals look lovely. And your sketch is great - how funny that you should discover the photograph exactly one year on.

    1. thanks Victoria...i guess all mums are the same. that must be why mine kept some of the things i wore even though so many bit got passed on to cousins and friends in those days. i have a box to keep the special stuff in like those vintage bits and all the amazing things my mum has knitted for elsa. i wonder one day if her own daughter might wear them? it just seems a shame that they are up in the loft though so it's nice to remind myself with pictures in a sketchbook i can pick up and look at. xXx
