Sunday at the Château de Versailles. . .

Well it's been a month of weekend trips away.... our last weekend trip was  to Paris for a family do Saturday evening and Sunday we spent walking round the gardens of Versailles, unfortunately we didn't have time to queue for tickets and visit the Château....next time... What can I say, the Château and gardens are breathtaking. The sculptures and fountains are magical...... 

Take a little tour of the official site.... Château de Versailles   If you get the chance to go, you really need to do it over two days.  We met a Parisien couple who visit regularly and discover something new each time they go... We walked and picnicked where once Kings and Queens lived..... wow!!!!

Things with wings.....

I'm popping over to Sunday Sketches......

Shop Front. . .

Mr Toast's Shop Front.... My Cherry Pie shop,  unfortunately didn't include a shop door or window, I was in the world of children's imaginations where you see things that sometimes are not there.... so anyway I decided to play again...even if I missed the montage..... I will eventually finish colouring this in but for the mean time "Does anyone know where the Cherry Pie shop is?"

Dolly Long Legs. . .

Tah dah.... Dolly Long Legs, has very long legs, crocheted dress over cloth body and paper clay arms, legs and head..... finally got around to finishing her today..... she is Eldest daughters Birthday pressy... we are celebrating tonight as Big Girl is off back to England on Saturday.... her real Bday is the 13th June... lucky for me....

Shop Front . . .

The last time we saw Boogie Bedhead and Toggle they were stuck in the cherry tree....  Spencer Dubs (who is sweet on Boogie) just happened to float by in his hot air balloon, he bought them both gently down to earth... saving the the poor sheep from being jumped on to break their fall....phew....

Boogie and Toggle managed to pick lots of cherries to sell in Mr Toast's theme of the week Shop Front.....
