Letter I wrote to you January 2011

4 months -
Dear Lola,

I sing this for you my Lola – one of your favourites.

“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things”

Eskimo kisses from mama & papa
Smiling & laughing & swimming in Summer
Adventures in Byron, and long naps in the car
These are a few of your favourite things

“Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things”
 
Chatting & riding on your papa's shoulders
Oma and Grandpa & Omi and Opi
Aunties & Uncles & a belly full of milk
These are a few of your favourite things.

“Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favourite things”

Your mama x


belle & boo

  1. Ash - I have a postcard of that Belle & Boo print stuck to my bookcase. I saw it in a card shop a couple of years ago and thought it was lovely. Until now, I had no idea who drew it! Hardly surprising I suppose that we have the same taste x

  2. Ella - these prints actually remind me of you and your mum. They are so sweet and make me feel all young & free & innocent. I love that you love them too. xx
