I can't say enough about this interesting photo. Do you know Mary Poppins? Of course you do, I bet you live in a fantasy land like I do....where gardens look like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory and all children are as well behaved as those looked after by Ms. Poppins.

I have a few favorite movies and stories from my childhood. Most of which I still watch today (when I'm sick, you know, because that's how you cure the common cold, through popsicles, soup and the movie "Annie").

Did you ever watch Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre? It was a wonderful series where famous actors would act out old faerie tales. The "play's" were so well done in their full period costume regalia and all. I imagine that it was here, with Rapunzel, that I got my first glimpse into the world of fiber magic.

Or how about Anne of Green Gables? To this day, I find instances of her influence in my wardrobe. Her ankle-high tie-up black boots & clean cotton prairie-wear never failed to entertain me. I lived vicariously through her pre-pubescent adventures and realizations.

It's rainy days like this when I just feel like curling up on the couch with a great old childhood favorite like Mary Poppins, while my dad builds a fire and my mom cooks chicken soup and tortilla's.

DUDE. I see a knitting and lame nostalgia movie day in our near future. What do you think?
