As is usually the case during the school holidays, I've been far too busy with Little Miss P to be on line! I have to admit I've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing on the Wii too O.O!!!
I hope to catch up with my blog reading soon ^-^!
Did you know it's Cuckoo day today? Well apparently so!
I had a look online to see if I could find anything to link cuckoos and dolls and here's what I came up with ^-^!
A Russian folk-lore custom of Cuckoo doll funerals! I jest not, and it's quite fascinating ^-^!

And there's always the swinging dolls on cuckoo clocks ^-^!
When I was little I had a list of things I would like to have in my house when I grew up. They were:
A round window,
An attic
A cellar
A log fire
A four-poster bed
A Stable Door
Russian Nesting Dolls
A Rocking Horse
And a Cuckoo clock (as well as a grandfather clock)!
I do have some Russian Nesting dolls... =D

Who knew there was a Cuckoo Clock Day!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you though, I love them and also thought I'd have one when I grew up! :D
I really wanted to have a house whose windows had panes like those in tudor houses. I called them "diamond windows". Also, wanted a library. I do have a lot of books, though! ;)
ReplyDeleteI wanted an attic, log fireplace, upstairs, lots of children, and a grandfather clock. I have or had all of those but not the grandfather clock.
