vintage no. 6



my love for organization & neatness (aka: ocd) was obvious from a young age. i could not have been older than 3, and already i am counting and organizing--all the while enjoying it! i could stand around that table for hours just moving the parade one-by-one. (i wonder if my parents were worried about me?) it was a 'treat' to have my mom put curlers in my hair. i remember feeling 'just like her' when she took them out & my hair fell into perfect curls.

Definitely one of my all time favorite childhood memories of you, Camille. I remember you would do this with these toys (are they McDonald's toys?) as well as your huge collection of My Little Pony\

I'll cut you some slack because you were three at the time, but that parade is curved very asymmetrically. I think I have adult onset OCD, and that would have driven me crazy if I saw an edp kid tediously moving toys one by one in a non symmetrical pattern.

Camille - where do I start??
I adore this picture of you!!!!!!
Trying to be like me with the curls, eh?

No, but seriously -- ADORABLE!!

And, I know I haven't been commenting -- but let it be known that I'm loving your blog! Simple and so enjoyable to look through. Your creativity never ceases to impress me.

Alvin and the Chipmunks, Smurfs, Care Bears, Ernie, and so much more ....that parade doesn't even include the ponies or the barbies or the beloved trolls.

That's funny, I like this photograph.

So the gaze in this picture is exactly the same as the gaze in your general blog picture. Albeit in the opposite direction.

So cute!
