The old maid… at the circus?

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|Oh! Things!

I’m not sure WHO is more excited about owning this lovely old deck of cards: me, or the girls. Click the image to view it at my Flickr and select “different sizes” to see the original larger version of this image.

* Yes Marla, another ValVill find! I have one more to show. :)

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
