Milton Bradley Old Mother Hubbard Puzzle Box I listed these vintage puzzles on Ebay. The first one is a wooden jigsaw puzzle of a pre-raphaelite couple. It is a challenging puzzle to put together. It has figure pieces which are different shaped pieces such as a star, heart, shoe, dog, head, bird, key, to name a few. The other is a Milton Bradley Old Mother Hubbard Puzzle Box of three vintage jigsaw puzzles. The last one is not for sale. It is a round Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs puzzle that came in a can.

It all started with a post I found on My Paper Crane. Heidi Kenney is an awesome artist and I love reading her blog about her family and all the plush creations she makes.

It took two highways and a bunch of turns on different...

So I have been quite the slacker as far as posting goes. The kids got out of school on May 22nd and June has already flown by. What have we been up to? Sofia turned 8 years old. She got her ears pierced for her birthday and Dante had a baseball game so she and I went to that and picked out a little cake at the grocery store on the way home. We have been going to the pool alot. We are all sporting a tan despite the diligent use of sunscreen. We have been really busy with Dante’s baseball.
