Mrs tiggy-Winkle

mrs tiggywinkle always had long socks or stockings on the line ~ yellow ones i think ~ have you got any you could shrink?

Love them all.

Sticki
Dont tempt me,I need to find someone i know with little legs.

Oh I love Mrs Tiggywinkle and the washing line is superb :o)

They just look so 'alive' after you've painted them Brian. Absolutely first class job! Well worth all the effort.....well done! :))

Wonderful.....

They are beautiful........very neatly painted Bjs. Seems a shame to put them outside in our summer!!!!

Mrs Tiggy looks very smart in her new outfit, and baby looks very comfy in the nest of leaves, what a great job.

Great job Brian, what fun to do.....

My Granddad used to read me all the Beatrix Potter stories when I was a very little girl, well over sixty years ago now...this takes me back..........!

I often find my hubby watching Beatrix Potter DVD! Bless him!

Lovely , Bjs .

Really lovely

Oh Lulu your joking,Is he telling you something like he needs more attention.!

Gatttina. I think thats what its all about I going into my second or possibly my third childhood.With three step great grandchildren and one on the way what hope is there for me

It's gorgeous

Absolutley Lovely, You clever thing:)

I do not know any fairy tale about Mrs Tiggy (Twiggy, lol), but she is lovely and you too :)

Katarina.Mrs Tiggy-Winkle is one of a number of characters used by the author Beatrix Potter 1866-1943
She wrote over twenty childrens books of which The Tales of Peter Rabbit are the most famous,Early editions of this book now sell for many thousands of pounds.I think i am right in saying she has sold more Children's books than any other author ever.She became quite wealthy and bought Hill Top Farm in the Lake District in the UK, as she prospered she bought more and more farms.At her death she left everything to the National Trust .Today much of it is now the Lake District National Park where people are free to travel and walk.
There is a lot more to her life but will leave it at that.

(Twiggy means thin in English)

Did you read her book as a child :)

Ach, Bjs, as I am female foreigner, I very well know who was Twiggy in sixties, but did not know Beatrix Potter, because I read old Czech and Slovak writers for kids when I was child. Pardon, also Russian authors...

Katarina
I don't remember them as a small child possibly more attractive to little girls,I can not remember what my mother read to me.Once i could read myself it was adventure stories,and nature books I read.

Me too. Till ten I have read all books from Karl May, A.C.Doyle and travelogues. Also all books available on ancient Greek, Egypt and Mexico. I read more boy books. But now, as I am older, I am getting more sentimental and like naive fairy tales :)

K
A.C.Doyle of course is famous for his Sherlock Holmes story's but wrote many others,he had a very sad life. Loosing all his family. Have you read all of his books.
Karl May, other than that he wrote 'Shatterhand' I know nothing about him.

this is wonderfull Brian, lovely mrs tiggywinkle :o)))
