Isn't it funny, after reading your post yesterday I came across 2 banana baskets just the same at the market this morning. Golly (he he) I wonder just how many spellings of doilies there are out there? I have decided just to make it up as I go along these days. I LOVE fossicking too & of course you are quite right it can be in your own craft room even! My friend Ruth's mum is 103 & she lives in Auckland. She can still cook & is entirely lucid & happy. Ruth was a very late 3rd daughter...that makes her mother still older than my grandparents would have been...if that makes any sense? What a delightful little outing for them all & nice that there were photos taken. I spy the red table in the midst of things. Yes a very cherry boy is that Tobias now!<br />Yes lovely pic of Kane..he's the one who helped build the cottage eh? <br />AND will make the hand rails ; ) <br />A little easier to sleep at night but still no rain Miss Julie!<br />Much love Catherine x0x0x0xCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377061243543771813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-19186940644278500682013-02-24T15:49:36.845+13:002013-02-24T15:49:36.845+13:00Hi Michelle, yes I think Molly is the perfect name...Hi Michelle, yes I think Molly is the perfect name for her. <br />Glad your family photos turned out well - its a good thing to do every few years as these boys grow & change so much.

Pictures/photos are to treasure, if you get a good one that is a bonus! We had family photos last weekend and I can't believe how many good ones I now have! I too couldn't pick miss 103, that is certainly something to celebrate-imagine the changes in the world she has seen and experienced! amazing.

He will know where all the "coolest" places to lie are though.Love Mr & Ms Golly, totally gorgeous.Envy your purchases of the old embroidered doilies, they are becoming quite a rarity to obtain these days.I bet those lovely ladies from the rest home had a great time out at your place, such a delight to sit under the trees and so much to see. You are pretty wonderful Julie.
