Aunt Claire’s Yellow Beehive Hair
By admin, on March 4th, 2009
What a cute book this is! And what a perfect go-along for They Were Strong and Good . It is all about family “memorabilia” and the family tree from the view of a young girl.

“After we’re so stuffed we can’t eat any more, the grown-ups push back their chairs from the table and talk and talk about the people I see only in old pictures.”
It’s well-written. The illustrations are adorable. As part of the storyline, the little girl describes how she puts old photos together with her own descriptions to make a beautiful family book. I recommend this book!

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

Dear Lynn,
That looks like a fun book! Thanks for the review; we’ll have to check it out.
And you had snow, wow! We had some rain yesterday and today, which could turn into snow tonight, but during the day yesterday it was a lovely 50 degrees!
Love,
