On This Day in 2001....

I know it is some time since I have posted here but I could not let this day go by without marking this day. In remembrance of all those who lost their lives on this day in 2001.....My thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends today....

Until next time take care...Hugs Chrissy xx 

An Exhibition of Vintage Items......

Hello from the Attic.....brrrrrrrrrrr it's cold, wet and very windy here in Cornwall. Snow will certainly not be happening here, if it does I will let you know....But to forget about the cold for a while I will show you some sunshine that we had in September 2012 and show you some of the items we saw at an exhibition in the church at Zennor, a village here in Cornwall....

St. Senara Parish Church, Zennor...(photo curtsy of wikipedia)

Making our way to the exhibition....

The exhibition was of vintage items on loan from local people....

Attire of times past...

A wedding dress & Veil, the wedding album seen in the corner belongs with this dress...

Some Vintage Dresses...I have an original 40's dress, used to love wearing it..

I have a sleeveless black 50's dress...would not be able to fit in it now...

 

The Mermaid Chair inside the church (more about this will be posted on my blog Away with the Faerys)

More Vintage Dresses...

One of the Church's Stained Glass Windows...

Some Royal Memorabilia...

  

A Colourful Bathing Costume...

A Vintage Poster for a Garden Fete...

Harvest Thanksgiving in Zennor...

Off for a Picnic...

 The Joy of Reading Starts when Young...

Takes me back, we had similar crockery seen in the background when I was a child...

School Days....

Childhood Mementoes....

I've always loved doll houses. I have an old one I hope to get ready for my granddaughter for when she s a little older....

Some things never change...

Anyone for a brew...

I am lucky to have many embroidery pieces that were worked by my late mother-in-law....

The Traditional Shopping Basket....can't beat it, better than plastic bags any day...

Seen on the wall of The Tavern Arms in Zennor...

A touch of colour to remind us that spring will soon be here again ....

I hope you enjoyed your visit back to 2012, it certainly is a contrast to the sounds outside my house....wind blowing and rain lashing against the window panes....

Until next time, take care...Hugs Chrissy xx

Happy New Year.....

 

 

Hello to you all on this New Year's Eve....As 2012 draws to an end I have two sleeping bundles upstairs. My 5 year old granddaughter and her 3 year old brother have stayed with me for two nights. They go home to their daddy tomorrow. I cannot think of a better way to spend New Year's eve than having my precious grandees with me.....

 

 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind ?

 

 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?

 

 

For auld lang syne, my jo, for auld lang syne,

 

 

we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

 

 

Happy New Year. Be safe and I hope 2013 is a good year for you all....

 

 

Until next time, take care...Hugs Chrissy xx

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas.....

Merry Christmas to all of you from The Attic. May you enjoy the day with your family and friends.....

The weather is warm but wet here in Cornwall. I will be visiting my son and grandees for a while on Christmas Day before hubby goes to work in the evening....

Until next time, take care...Hugs Chrissy...xx

Lest We Forget....

 

 

 

 

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

From Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen, September 1914

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Memory and Gratitude to those who gave their lives for Freedom..

 

Until next time, take care....Hugs Chrissy xx
