the photo challenge this month was people and toys
it required some thought - first I don't use pictures without the person's consent (other than the grands when they were much younger)
and everyone has seen the Happy Gang and I don't have any other toys conveniently hanging around
so.... the toy shop in Oak Bay village
then, found on the boulevard when out on a walk
ah! I was tempted to take the penguin home for the Happy Gang
my Mother's picture of some of the soft dolls she made me
Raggedy Ann and Andy and cartoon character Little Lulu (that goes back a few years)
and then me with new toys
my homemade dollhouse and all the miniature furnishings and a new doll on my lap
Christmas 1948
if you click to enlarge you will see that the drapes in the living room are the same material as the people sized easy chair
Grandmother with mother standing on the right and her baby sister Gladys and brother Orville
the professional photograph was taken in Nova Scotia before they departed for the wild west, across Canada, traveling down the Skeena River by river boat to start a new home in Terrace, B.C.
I wonder if grandmother was terrified??
my 4th or 5th birthday with cousins and the neighbourhood gang - in Terrace, 40+ years later
I'm the face peeking around my cousin Brent, beside my cousin Anne with another cousin, Brian, beside her - on the right
it was still pretty wild!
I am joining Cathy and Sue in sharing photos
their posts may appear a little later
