  4. Hi Maria,
    Pinwheels are the best! I get them every summer (small, hand-held ones) for my Grands. We all have fun watching them twirl in the breeze. Your photo of one against that blue sky is very pretty

  6. Ah, I love pinwheels...they are such fun! Thanks for sharing them with us, and making us young again for the moment!
    Came across here from Erin's blog (I think)...and loving every minute. So thanks for your inspirations...the story of the toys below is beautiful. I feel like I have heard it before, and yet the name of that book isn't familiar. Of course I am Australian, so out of the loop...almost!

  11. Good Sunday Morning Maria,
    Your cell camera didn't do I bad job! Did you but the whirlygig for your yard? It was nice that you took some time for yourself. We don't do this often enough!

  12. Oh I didn't check to see if there's a price ... It's at least 3-4 feet wide! It may be a permanent decoration there!
    So fun to see it! Thanks for stopping by :o)
