What a lovely jumble sale-find! If it be mine, I'd be tempted to dot the red footstool with white thread, if you know WHAT I MEAN! (Do give last words a click!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely lovely picture! I love to read--I can hardly put a book down once I've started it. I've been known to finish a thick book in less than a day. I recently finished an entire series of four BIG thick books in three.

Oh yes they make the picture more beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI went and found you a few good quotes on childhood, I hope you like them. Hope Betsy Belle is doing wonderful for you also.

Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows. ~John Betjeman
We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it. ~George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss, 1860
Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons. ~Author Unknown
Childhood is the fiery furnace in which we are melted down to essentials and that essential shaped for good. ~Katherine Anne Porter
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in. ~Graham Greene
When you finally go back to your old hometown, you find it wasn't the old home you missed but your childhood. ~Sam Ewing
In childhood, we press our nose to the pane, looking out. In memories of childhood, we press our nose to the pane, looking in. ~Robert Brault
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older. ~Tom Stoppard
I'd give all wealth that years have piled,
The slow result of Life's decay,
To be once more a little child
For one bright summer day.
~Lewis Carroll, "Solitude"
The older I grow the more earnestly I feel that the few joys of childhood are the best that life has to give. ~Ellen Glasgow
Old age lives minutes slowly, hours quickly; childhood chews hours and swallows minutes. ~Malcolm de Chazal
