Storybook SouvenirThere’s been much activity around the doll house this evening.
We recently finished up Snowflake Bentley (Caldecott Medal Book) 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.

Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.   <div align="center"><a href="http://www.amothersjournal.com" title="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong"><img src="http://www.innatelygray.com/images/abitofbirdsong_120_200.jpg" alt="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong" style="border:none;" /></a></div>    
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.

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.
