this weekend, at my parents', I found something that I had saved from my maternal grandparents many years ago. I spent my whole childhood using it when I was spending the day at my grandparents' (which was every.single.Sunday). And this past Sunday (the irony !) I digged it out of my parents' attic, where we have so many things stocked (by lack of room here). I'm talking about a French stereoscope Lestrade. This is how it looks :

ReplyDeletelove those colors, so warm and so rich.
ReplyDeleteIt is a treasure to hang onto.
I will keep my out for cards for you.
my Dad borrowed something similar to this from a friend when I was younger and we all enjoyed it so much. wonder what happened to it?
ReplyDeleteI think that's just lovely. So nice to find favourite things from your childhood.
ReplyDeleteMy mum and dad kept hold of my little toy treehouse. It was my absolute favourite towy when I was 8 or 9, and I cried when I opened it one Christmas.
Now my little Princess has it, and I love that she loves to play with something that I loved so much :o)
Do your boys like the stereoscope?
Oh, and did you get the snow I sent over?!
have a lovely Tuesday xx

It's fantastic! We had one as children too, not nearly as pretty as your version though. The viewer itself is a work of art. I love seeing the image through it with you, special. Jx
ReplyDeleteOh, now there's a memory! We had something similar with circular discs. I remember pulling that trigger down to get the next image, and how wowed we were back then by the 3D effect - such simple creatures!
ReplyDeleteil y avait longtemps que je n'étais pas passée mais tombé sur cet article rappelle de drôles de souvenirs !
ReplyDeleteBisous à vous 4 ;)
These are so much fun! I am impressed by how you manages to let us see a tiny bit in the last photo!
ReplyDeleteI have a red more modern one from my son's childhood years with a circle card of photos to look at!They are lovely indeed!Magical to look through!Ariadne from Greece!
ReplyDeleteso cool and such a tasteful shade of plastic as well!! fab pictures xx
ReplyDeletetrès précieux ! et très chouette ! en plus quelle chance d'avoir un tel jeu de planches !
ReplyDeleteton billet me conforte dans l'idée que les vide-greniers à outrance et de tout ces parents qui incitent leurs enfants à se débarasser de leurs jouets passés n'a pas que du bon... que transmettre à leurs descendance si tout a été vendu pour quelques euros...
oups "tous"
