When I was a girl living on Sunshine Mountain in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania, we had a great
watering hole under a bridge where we spent lazy summer days! My cousins and I would
take our bikes, but mostly had to walk because the road had a very steep down
hill and followed by a steep uphill. Pushing your bike in that midsummer sun would
always make you question the logic of bringing the bike, but once you
got to ride on the flat part on the way to the bridge you didn't think about it anymore!
The trees over hung
on both sides of the creek, and it created this beautiful canopy of leaves
that blocked the hot sun and made the light dance on the top of the
water. It was pure magic! Most of it was shallow, but under the bridge, the bigger boys had
dammed up the water so that they could dive off the bridge.
In the deepest
area where we swam there were large rocks we would sit on and pretend we
were mermaids. My cousin Christine and I became great swimmers that summer. A customer asked me if I could make some wooden
mermaids like my fairies and it took me back to this wonderful memory.
Here is what I came up with...
These
wonderful little girls are ready to swim and play. I love the magical
feel they have and how the playsets are developing. All sisters and a mama at a size that is just right for little hands and nature table play.
Rhyme and Reason
are twins with sisters Story and Verse being the youngest. The lovely mama is
Song because she sings sweetly to her girls at night! The stories are
developing in my head and over taking my dreams at night, I hope you
like them as much as I do! You can find these toys and more at
The Enchanted Cupboard.
