Charming



Teddies and friends (circa 1960) rediscovered this afternoon at mum and dad's place.



The laminate board cover and thick pages of the Constance Wickham book have a familiar smell.



And I still like the look of the jam tarts.

  3. Charming indeed! What a lovely picnic they were having. Aren't the images so sweet and somehow soothing? I know that smell you mean too, takes me right back xo

  4. I like the look of any jam tart. Especially lemon ones made with real lemon butter which should always be licked off before polishing off the pastry. Just like the moo cow does.
