This week challenge at Take a Word is Memories and I wanted to share something that enchanted me when I was a little girl in late 60's, I wanted to share what brought magic into my life in that time of darkness for so many of us in my country.
Topo Gigio was a lovely mouse with dreamy eyes. I still remember when I got him as a gift from mum. It was an unforgettable day! Topo Gigio was my favourite program and doll toy for a long time and I confess I still love him because he will always be part of one of the best moments in my life.
There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.

What a lovely softly coloured collage. I can see that there in your header is a nice figure which looks little like your chilhood's dear Topo Gigio!
ResponderExcluirWhat an interesting memory and intriguing picture.
ResponderExcluirI loved Topo Gigio growing up too! I remember loving the part where he would say, "a la camita," before going to sleep at the end of the show. Blessings!
ResponderExcluirYou're going to make me cry...I loved Topo so much when I was a kid such a cutie...great job thanks for the memory!
ResponderExcluirSuch a lovely memory, Karla, Topo must have brought comfort during those troubled times!
ResponderExcluirWhat a lovely insight into your memories. Your artwork here is exquisite and it opens up such a pleasant, nostalgic feeling. (I remember that mouse!!).
ResponderExcluirThat's a beautiful memory and a gorgeous creation, so intricately composed. The Lawrence quotation makes it just that bit more special too. I've never heard of Topo, but I am sure my children would have loved him too - characters like him provide a place of safety for children in their minds.
