memories of yesterday ...
Mabel Lucie Attwell's list of art-related contributions was enormous. During the thirties her extensive output did not diminish. In addition to illustrating books and cards, she designed tablecloths, bibs, figurines, dolls, soap, biscuit tins, and even the children's nursery china that was owned by Prince Charles during his childhood.
The stylised toddlers of Mabel Lucie Attwell with their jaunty captions have had a worldwide appeal which has charmed generations of children and adults alike.
The Memories of Yesterday figure above called Comforting Thoughts produced by Enesco in 1993 is now for sale in my webshop A Home With A Heart. It is priced at £15.00 which includes P&P and would make a lovely gift or treat for a Mabel Lucie Attwell fan.
Also today I am listing items on ebay, so go take a look and attempt to grab yourself a bargain while you can.
Rather a dangerous thing for a toddler to be doing, filling a hot water bottle with a kettle full of scalding water. Where are the parents I ask!

It's so cute and exquisite!
and now i'll take a look in your shop:)
Such a charming expression on that figurine, Louise!
I tried to look at your E-bay store but it asks me for registration. I never bought from E-Bay before. I wonder if that is a new requirement or only because you are in the UK, and I am not?
Such a cute little figurine. I like the little red doll on the side bar too.
Oh my word she'll burn her thumb!
:o)
I still have an old Sindy and her horse... only one riding boot now though! :o(
That Sindy looks just like the one i used to have

Oh they were made of tougher stuff in those days!
My Sindy doll was always dressed far better than I..
I was modelled on Patch her little sister.. all dungarees and muddy knees.
I hope you do roaring business with these lovely items..
