A "Bonus" birthday Ringbearer & Mermaids. . .

[lavendertook]

A very belated bonus birthday spam for my dear friend claudia603:

I will take it! I will take the ring to Mordor . . .



. . . though I do not know the way . . .

. . . to the litter box. Saki just has that determined but anxious look there, don't she?

And some mermaids and Frood (decoupage by lbilover) for you. These are 2 beloved books of my childhood, more for the pics than the narratives themselves, really. I knew and loved the collection on the left that was in my grade school library, and my mom hunted down this copy for me when it was no longer in print--a really lovely gift.



You will notice that the pics were taken on your birthday. So maybe instead of thinking of this as a belated wish, here's wishing you a bonus birthday celebration from the Bonus Birthday Fairy! :-D

We had several of those Living Story Books when I was a kid, but not that particular one. I remember especially the Little Black Sambo one with the tigers turning into butter.

And since I wasn't around, Happy Belated Birthday, Claudia!!

Eeep! Eeeek!

We also had the Snow White one--the dolls and the settings on this and The Little Mermaid were just beautifully done. And it's no wonder you grew up on these books, too. The source of our embracing doll story telling has been found. (-;

It was a pretty unforgettable visual, given how those books are done.

I never thought about it before, but I think you are right! :-)))
