Cor doesn't half take me back - memories of grandma's house at Toward Point where time stood still. The Victorian stuff I think from programmes like "Upstairs Downstairs"

That front room looks like my late Uncles sitting room. Just love those round cushions, and I have a horrid feeling one of my elderly rellies has a large porcelain dog just like that one on the telly!

The room reminds me of a childhood friend's 'Front Room' The display cabinet had glasses which, when filled with water showed rude ladies in the base :o ;D (We had a lodger in our front room ;D)

That dog was probably chalk. I remember my gran had one and today I have a statue of a boy and girl both in chalk that I picked up from a car boot. I remember her having plaques made of the same plaster like baskets of flowers I think they were anemones. Takes yer back alright

Oh Shirlton , I almost dare not ask. I have been looking for years for something from my memory of Mums old stuff(sje had the plaster Alsatian by the way)
The ones I have been trying to find are plaster too. The girl was in a pale green dress,short, with reddish hair , she had her head cocked to one side slightly and she was holding her dress out at each side, the boy matched but he was not so important as the girl. I am not sure why I am searching for them but they make me feel good just thinking.
Do it sound like the one you have..if so i would love to see a picture. XX Jeannine

I know the statue you are on about. They sell repro ones of that little girl now in most garden centers and even wilkie's do one. Here are mine, They were probably won by someone at the fair.

FANTASTIC ;D
I used to be fascinated at York Museum when I was a kid! So much so that I think I've filled the house with every artefact I could ever remember - bar the horse & carriage.
I've got one of those alsatians (lying, not sitting) over my fireplace, a dolly posh in the kitchen and I have a 'thing' about fancy cushions as well!
I've got freesias planted in my tin bath though and it'd definitely not in front of the coal fire.
Makes me want to go to the museum again. What a lovely thread :)

If you liked that museum then get yourself to BEAMISH Museum. Next exit on the A1 North past Durham. Only 1 hour from York. Apparently the only one of its kind in Europe! Its fantastic.
Best going between Easter and the end of Autumn as there are more activities to see. Some close in the colder months. Here is a link:
