.......A post inspired by a song.
Im really loving the song, 'Take me Back to your house'
by Basement Jaxx, its getting lots of radio air time and the video clip makes me and my boys laugh.... the russian dancing men are a hoot with their cheesy costumes and moustaches. It has a catchy tune too! Check it out here
I drew some Russian girls for the occasion and I love the inside cover page of this Vintage Children's book 'Deans Gift book of Fairy Tales' 1967....there's Gretel!
