About Lynn 
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.

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.

I love your newsletter! What a wonderful idea!
And Chris, we love the doll name you chose. Michaela thought it was beautiful.
I do too.

I only knew about your blog until today. I was amazed at how much you have done with this after I went to your newsletter and realized you had a whole web site in addition to your blog. Congratulations on such a great effort.
I just loved Joseph’s poem. He paints a lovely and a slightly dark picture beautifully. Obviously he is better with words than I am. You must be very proud. Your daughter’s haiku was lovely as well.
Thanks, Ken. My website keeps changing, and growing slowly. I do what I can.
Thanks, Nicole. Yes, Joseph has a beautiful way with words. I’m encouraging him to keep writing. I believe that that will be what eventually makes him a great speller.
