Feb. 29th 2016 (-- the photo is old, and the book was already 'old', then!)

I don't have a new picture ready yet today, so I went looking for an oldie. Decided to pull out something from one of my Books galleries.

I have used this book, enjoyed making some things when my daughter was a little girl. I think I may find it useful again, in fact... have wanted to get back to some sewing. I have so much to do, though, that I don't know how I'm going to accomplish that yet.

What I really cherish about this book is that I very distinctly remember when I bought it. The shop owner, an elderly man who ran an old bookstore that my family loved to visit now and then for many years, didn't just ring it up and say 'Have a nice day,' but he gave me a very nice smile. That was probably also the last time I saw him... he passed on, and then his bookshop closed.

So, whenever I see this book, I see that smile!

-- I would like to add more today but, not only am I busy, but I'm having a very difficult time typing! I'm not sure if the problem is my computer, or my hands. So... I'm quitting right here for now.
