Back to the Past.


6 year old daughter had to dress up for school today. The theme was "Back to the Past", about 100 years or so ago. I raided the communal dress ups box at E's Dad's house. Success.


6 year old daughter posed next to an old Kooka (from the bird, Kookaburra) stove we have on our deck. Ladies from bygone days used to cook and bake using one of these. We got it from a house that was clearing out its furniture way back before we were even married. It is so heavy.....

Cute - I can smell the freshly baked bread coming out of the old stove

Very cute picture. Your daughter certainly looks the part :)
I have enjoyed reading your blog.

Such a beautiful picture.

We have an old stove in pieces in our shed. One day we will do something with it. Not cute like a Kooka though. Very nice.

What a lovely picture you have captured.

I love the old kooka stove. We have an old blue wood stove in really good order waiting to be put to good use, just like Linda's, it is sitting in the shed collecting dust.

Hope your daughter's dress up day went well. Children love to dress up.

She had a great day. Her teachers made them all scones and lemonade.
6 year old daughter says "Thankyou everyone for the nice comments."
