These are the sweetest most amazing records I have ever seen. Pretty much a 50's version of books on tape, but with amazing pictures &for little kiddos! I am seriously so in love &cannot wait until Marlowe is old enough to read ¬ eat the books!
Alice In Wonderland is one of my all time favorite stories. Ever ever ever.
I didn't really realize how awesome these were when John first handed them to me. When I opened them up to find whole illustrated stories my mouth dropped with an "oh dear!" and I was beyond pleased.
I know I've mentioned my local record store before, Top 5. It is amazing, and the owner is incredible. I randomly walked into his store the very first day it opened. I was with my friend Christine and her little one. That day she mentioned she would love more pregnant mama friends. Welp, what do you know, now here I am, me and my little one, walking into the record to say hello to my (now) good friend, John. Because of John, Marlowe has one of the most kick-butt record collections ever. If you haven't followed my blog from the beginning, check out THIS record he gave us a while back: gorgeous!
A few questions I've been getting lately via comments &email:
My sling: Looma. It's a Swedish ring sling, but I don't think it is available for purchase in the U.S. It was a hand-me-down from previously mentioned, Christine. It is pretty comfortable, my main complaint is the fabric is heavy and not breathable. It's not a warm-weather sling by any means. If you are thinking of purchasing a sling, I would aim for a woven one, they tend to be pricer, but I imagine the comfort is worth it.
My floppy hat: no idea. My mom bought it for herself. Didn't want it anymore &it ended up in my closet. She has no idea where she bought it either.
My camera: Panasonic Lumix G1.
&A recent comment from a reader, jamjam:
"Has anyone ever told you that you look like Audrey Tautou?": Er, um... no. Maybe once? But I'm not sure, so Ill go with "no". I've heard I look like a fair amount of different people. The one I get the most (or used to anyway &was once mistaken for) is: the Olsen twins.
Also: Portia De Rossi, Rogue from the X-men movie, & "the chick from Meet Joe Black"
Some I understand, some I dont.
