The 1st Day of Christmas

If you are new to my blog since last year, you might not know that I deliver packages for UPS, and don't have a second of spare time for at least a month before Christmas. Somehow I made it through a record setting season, and I'm ready to get down to blogging again. I've missed everyone! I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, and are ready to celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas with me!





I'll be posting little tidbits each day, with maybe a longer post or two thrown in there somewhere. And I have some great things planned and in the works for 2012, so I hope you come along for the ride.







Today's post is some antique children's pull toys. There's something so charming to me about a toy that doesn't require batteries. ;) Enjoy ~

Love the pull toys - is this your private collection? They are wonderful.

Wonderful to see you back Lisa and I just love your antique "pull" toys. I hope you are enjoying the festive season. Take care.

Nice post...you of all people should take the day to put your feet up and rest a bit!

I couldn't agree more - no batteries usually equals more imagination needed. These old toys are just darling! I think the sheep is my favorite.
Welcome back to a normal (or as normal as can be) life. I hope you get today off.

You can have a little rest now, only 364 days to Christmas 2012.
Lovely toys- real toys.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday Lisa.

I have missed your posts too. I hope you find lots of stitching time.

Those toys are wonderful. I love the elephant. Do you know how old they are?

Fabulous toys!
I once toured the Steiff Museum in Germany and I wanted to stay and play ;-)
These are all beautiful examples!
