Today is the Vintage Slumber Party being hosted by Phyllis over at "For the Love of Vintage"
What fun to be invited to a Slumber Party, I haven't been to one in years...many years. I'm sure there will be lots of delightful surprises in store.
I decide a nice bottle of Sparkling Pink Lemonade would be perfect and a Salmon Pate with some crackers. I also tore the recipe page out of my book and brought that along as well.

As I was leaving for the party, one of my dolls, little baby Stella wanted to come with me. As it was well past her bedtime I had to say no. She just couldn't stop yawning.
Last, but not least I have some party favours for everyone. If you would like any of these pictures just click and you can download a larger file on flickr.
I have this wonderful book published in 1944 called a Child's Prayer. Here is the prayer and two of the illustrations.

From another little book call "Prayers and Graces for a Small Child" this one is called Off to Sleep
