brown*paper*parcels ~ my vintage bookshelf ~ Heidi
*oh ! how I loved to read Heidi when I was a little girl.I would make myself a little package with a piece of cheese and some bread, wrap it in an old teatowel and go into my cubby and sit and read Heidi for as long as I could.I always wanted to go and live with the Alm uncle in the Alps and sleep in her little straw bed up in the loft. I would cry when she was sent to live with Clara and my heart would ache when her aunt was so mean*

I really love you whole site - it's beautiful. My son-in-law is Swiss and I visited them in Switzerland twice. The countryside is so lovely, straight out of a picture book and you expect to meet Heidi around every corner.
We have more and more in common...Heidi still sits on my bookshelf along with Heidi Grows Up and Heidi's Children. Imagination is a wonderful thing for a child to have, isn't it! I didn't go as far as you with the bread and cheese, but I always liked the sound of the simple food Heidi lived on!
