Pipers Come Home
A parcel arrived yesterday - all the way from the lovely Kylie in Australia! She sent me a few wee bits and pieces that needed to come home to Scotland.
Kylie had added a wee tag to the dolly -
Have a great weekend and thanks, Kylie!
First there was this lovely little vintage Scottish piper doll. Isn't she cute?
Look at her lovely blue eyes and rosy cheeks - all that piping, I suppose - the cheeks, I mean, not the eyes - don't think eye colour is affected by bagpipes!!! (Unless of course you count bloodshot eyes!)
Kylie also sent this vintage Edinburgh Castle apron - again featuring pipers - very unusual. Going to keep this for St Andrew's Night or Burns Night when I'm cooking haggis!
Last, but not least was this vintage postcard of Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh - love the colours and can you see the wee girl feeding the pigeons in the bottom right corner?
And funnily enough, Edinburgh is where I am heading soon. So I really could be sending you that postcard - great timing, Kylie!
Kylie had added a wee tag to the dolly -
Some of you may remember Poor Margaret.
A post not for the faint-hearted!
Go on - read it at your peril!
You have been warned!
So, I think this wee lassie will remain safe in her lovely tartan box for the time being!
Love, Liz

We here in the USA have heard terrible things about it. ;-)
