MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD STORYBOOK

There's a storybook from my childhood that has never left my memory.
It had long ago been given away or discarded.
All I could really remember was the name of the book and the fact that I loved it.

I was so happy to finally find it on the internet.

Me Too!
A Whitman Tell-A-Tale Book
copyright 1962 ~ the year after I was born  ~ yes, I'm old  : )


I didn't remember that the little girl's name was Anne
which of course is part of my name.
Maybe it's not too surprising that we named our daughter Anna.


I had older sisters so that may be part of the reason I connected to this book.
Or maybe it was because I loved to play with dolls like these girls.
(It appears that Anne is spanking her baby ~ not sure I like that part.)


I am sure I loved their pretty blue dresses.


And their pretty house with their pretty Mamma.

Whatever the reasons, I'm so happy I found it again!

Did you have a favorite storybook as a child?

Thanks A Bunch For Visiting!

    I've never heard of that book. I was a big reader as a kid, but don't remember a favorite book, my I'm beginning to think my memory is getting bad.

    I'm much older (75) ..but the favorite book I remember reading when I was 8 or 9, is Grimms Fairy Tales, and loved it so much that I still have that book in my collection. Memories for sure

    You were so lucky to find it! I've been looking for a while for the book I learnt to read from.

    My dad read me Little Women so I guess that's my favorite.

    It's such fun to find a book from our childhood. This little book is darling and I can see why you loved it. I loved Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy books and I still have mine! My dear mother saved them for me. There were other books I loved but have never found. Maybe someday I'll find some of them but I so enjoy my Raggedy Ann books and my Raggedy Ann doll that I still have, too.

    What a cute little book! I wish I had some of my favorites from my childhood too. I always loved when my mom would read "Put Me In The Zoo" by Dr. Seuss.

    This was my favorite book as a wee one and I insisted that my Daddy read it to me every night. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Milo-Winter-BARNYARD-BABIES-Merrill-linen-3415-EC-1936/171690320614?_trksid=p2054897.c100204.m3164&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140407115239%26meid%3Df45dd3ee3a6d429299333a7fe8309c5b%26pid%3D100204%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D29%26sd%3D181689676311

    It was published in 1936, and I was born a mere 6 years later. As you can see, you only think you are old. ;-)

    How wonderful that you found your book!

    Years ago, my mom told me about a book that her father read to her as a child. She knew the story, but she couldn't remember the name. After searching for years on the internet, I finally found the book on Alibris.com. I surprised her at Christmas with it about two years ago and let me tell you.... my mom doesn't cry, but she shed happy tears that day :)

    My favorite was Green Eggs and Ham.

    How wonderful that you found it!!! Years ago, I found a Raggedy Ann and Andy alarm clock on eBay that was exactly like the one I had as a child. I bought it. I still have it but it doesn't talk anymore like it did when I first purchased it. Such great childhood memories!!! : )

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the...

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased...

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood. ...
