Little Hands


I've always loved "little hands" especially when they are related to me. For years now, I've had an obsession with collecting vintage and antique children's toys. I have a big, early old pine cabinet that sits in my family room. I've had it for years, and behind its old, wavy glass are lots and lots of early toys and pottery that the little ones had in years gone by. Here are a few of my favorite little things!









The little child's pitcher above is pretty special to me, broken handle and all. My Grandma gave it to me when I was a kid. Apparently I was the only left handed member of the family. And now, I have Bodhi and Riley, my grandkids that are both left handed!


And you know, sometimes even "little hands" can't help a guy out when they have an inter tube  stuck on their head.  I'm linking up today, a bit late as usual, with my friend Kathleen over at Faded Charm! She has a great blog and is an even greater person. I had a chance to meet her last Summer when her family was down in SoCal to go to Disneyland. She stopped by Country Roads to see me. How nice was that!
