Lullaby and Goodnight

I was very good today, I went to the Cancer Research charity shop and took a carrier bag full of books in!  It didn't stop me buying one book in replacement though, lol.  This book was a bargain though, as of course everything I ever seem to buy from these shops is.  It was a book from the 1960's with the words and music to nursery ryhmes and other children's tunes called 'My First Sing-A-Song Book'.  What I like about this one is it has lovely vintage images illustrating the songs. 

There is a lullaby section with this picture:

and it had a very famous tune called 'Cradle Song' which was written by Brahms that I remember singing to my baby (who is now 10!) at bedtime:

And on the front and back inside covers, there is this lovely illustration of a children's park.  This was the type of park I used to go on when I was little:

I remember that climbing frame and seesaw!

This is the book:

Costing me just 50p!   Memories? Priceless!

I also got these 'trainer wings!'

Which are embossed! I will be doing something artistic with them...

But not this! lol.  These were just 35p!

Tonight I also inked the edges of my altered book:

Just need to start thinking about a title and theme now...

Thanks for reading,

See you tomorrow,
