Doodly Birds swooping in ......

Mrs Dale's Friendship Book is now being invaded by those pesky Doodly Birds.

 I loved her thoughts on the colour of grass.

"What a very happy thought God had when He decided to make grass green!

I often think that when I look out at the lawn in April and May. Suppose we had had red grass ? It would'nt have been nearly as restful, white would have been quite hopeless and yellow too dazzling.  Brown or black would have been both horribly dull, and though blue grass might have just got by, green is, undoubtedly the only colour for grass"

So what would her thoughts have been on all the fashionable coloured grasses we have in our gardens now, I wonder.

Doodling Mrs Dale's Diary....

Here's a few more upcycled pages in my little book 

"Mrs Dale's Friendship Book"

Summer time with Mrs Dale and it's all about garden parties 

and fetes so I altered the pages by adding some bunting.

For this Spring poem I've collaged some roses using 

Promarkers and then machine stitched on top.

If you missed the weather forecast on the wireless 

you'll be needing a brolly during this Summer shower.

The book is so sweet and it's lovely adding little doodles as I go along.

Upcycling Mrs Dale's Diary.........

 

I recently picked up this lovely little book for £2.  

In 1961 when it was published it was 7s 6d (about 37p now)

The hardcover is lovely and in perfect condition

and the inscription inside is "From Hattie to Aunty Pollei"

Its got four sections each named after a season and its full of little drawings, poems and stories.

I've got this urge to add to it, put my own mark on it by adding little doodles and collages.  

Its far to pretty to sit on the shelf and be ignored.
