Storybook Souvenir
By , on January 12th, 2009
There’s been much activity around the doll house this evening.

We recently finished up Snowflake Bentley (Caldecott Medal Book) for Five In A Row, and you know how I love to finish up with a storybook souvenir for the doll house.
Let me just say that the dolls were wild with excitement to find out that Snowflake Bentley was a distant cousin on their family tree! And they inherited the most amazing old photograph.

Good night,

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.

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
What You Do Sow a thought, reap an action.
Sow an action, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap a destiny.

Dear Lynn,
What a wonderful, meaningful tradition for you and your children! I’m sure they will be helped to remember those stories well into their adulthood, with their lovely souvenirs.
Thanks for stopping by to visit-I’ve just been browsing through your garden pictures, and you have done such a great job-I wish our growing season were as long as yours.
Good luck overwintering your plants; isn’t the garden a wonderful laboratory?
Love,
Marqueta
Thanks, Marqueta. I really believe she’ll remember playing dolls.
I’ll keep everyone posted on the plants!
Lynn
i love her doll house! I love how everything is so thoughtfully made and arranged and how she has done so much of it herself….wonderful lessons there and beautiful memories for you both!
That’s the sweetest photo of you gals – I love to see you having such fun at home always.
