Quick Thrift Store Stop
By Lynn, on March 21st, 2008
On my way into work today, I stopped at the thrift store. I found some keepers.
It’s so pretty! There’s a crack in the glass, but it appears to be quite old. The back says,

“I felt as if I were walking with Destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and this trial…”
Published in 1965, this book is CHURCHILL: Portrait of Greatness, by Relman Morin. I love books about great men and women of history!
Also…
This matted print — for 1 dollar — is beautiful. It’s 10 x 14. Garden in May by Maria Oakey Dewing (1845 – 1927).
Well, it’s off to bed here. I bet it’s after midnight by now!

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
