I have some more La Pashe decoupage again for your delectation. This image is from the 'Remember When' folder - Set 3 (8a) - on 'The Big One' CD by La Pashe. I think the era is around the 1940/50's. Just a guess on my part as I really have no idea.
I have chosen black for the card and the size is A5. I particularly like the dog as we used to have an identical one when I was about 8. He was called 'Flash'. Look at the size of the Rhubarb, Leeks and Cabbages. Obviously a good garden plot.
I appreciate you looking at my work, and I am looking forward to inspecting yours. Very closely this challenge - as I will be choosing the Top 3. xx
Because this card also comes from the 'Remember When' folder I wanted to show it to you as well. I posted it recently on my Facebook page (February).
I made it because it reminded me of the old Macfisheries emporium that used to be in my home town. Quite a few others remembered the shops as well. A real 'Remember When'.
See you soon.
Hugs
Carol

Like you I love La Pashe Carol, a beautiful garden and card.As I stay in Aberdeen a fishing port we still have several old fashioned fishmongers
ReplyDeleteThank you Meg. I do miss seeing the shop. It is sad when the familiar sights disappear. It is now all just a small counter in a Supermarket.
DeleteOh how cool!! These remind me of Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, California.
ReplyDeleteLove these two Remember When scenes. The closest we have around here is Osgood's Seafood Camp, where most locals go to get fresh seafood. A few will venture down the coast an hour where there are many Vietnamese fishmongers. Osgood's has been here for decades so we use them. Love the decoupage. XOX
ReplyDeleteAs I said to Meg most of any fish we can buy now is found in Supermarkets - at least in the smaller local towns. xx
DeleteLove these cards Carol. La Pashe have so many great images. I have rhubarb growing in my garden. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child, a fishmonger used to drive round every Wednesday in his yellow van! We always had lovely fresh fish for tea on a Wednesday. I love fresh fish!

Great cards and memories Carol. We are lucky to still have an independent fish monger here in Bexhill.
