I love the one of the two girls with their domestic goods presents because I had a toy ironing board and iron just like that! I can imagine it probably was vintage at the time because my mum has always loved old things, just like me.
Hope you and yours have a truly wonderful Christmas and New Year! xx
That is awesome! What a great memory Cate. You have yourself a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year as well!
I am dying to know the stories behind some of these great photos. You always have such a great eye, Liz. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas. I hope you had a super time.
