I am suddenly craving boiled eggs and toast soldiers and, oh, Lordy, if anyone has beaters like that - send 'em my way. I might have smooshed mine in my old Sunbeam. Boo hoo.
loved the picture with the boiled egg.
ok, as for me - nr.1 - no no no! it was NOT a delight (or not always;).
squashing autumn leaves - oh yesss, the smell (!), chocolate beaters (or any dough-beaters), riding bikes, peeling mandarins, playing in the snow. afternoon naps - no, hated them as i was a child but they wanted me to take a nap. but NOW.. oh yes, if i could allow me this :))
going to check out that book, thank you for the link!
ooh this teddy bear, Rozijn is a beautiful blog, your selection great, comme toujours!
one of my fave books too - love it - shot so beautifully, so inspiring
I love boiled eggs... I cook snack on them these days. One of my favourite things brought back.
Thank you for taking me back to my childhood with this post! Ahhhh the teddy bear...corn...balloons:)
Love it all:)
Kisses and have a fun day my dear!
what a great selection!
thanks!
so adorable. the good thing is when you have a child you do get to do these things all over again quite frequently
what about books? and reading them one by one by one until you devour the entire series/load and rush back to the library for more? and you can do this because you have nothing else on (except for school maybe but how much does that count? ;). and loooong summers. and playmates. and discovering boys/girls. and icecream. re afternoon naps, i hated them too, was way too active as a child ;)
good to see your post, as always, makes me happy...
oh! ;))
just wonderful...
well thanks,
nice to see my pictures among others.
Wish I was a child again !
Great list. I love that Autumn leaves picture from Petits Bonheurs, I've book marked it too!
The only thing I would have to add is making cubby houses out of two kitchen chairs and an old blanket. I used to love doing that...

Missed your blog, you hit on all of my childhood delights!!!
oh chocolate beaters! one of my favourite childhood rituals was watching my mum make cakes and waiting patiently to get to lick the beaters. I had to fight my brother for it.
