This was purchased by my cousin, John, years ago. He died of Alzheimer’s awhile back, and his wife, my cousin Joan, gave this to me,
I love it so much, and love that I have something of his.
So I put it in my dining room, but it was squished into the table, which annoyed me, until I had the bright idea, to turn the table around.
Duh. So simple.
And perfect.
I really am turning into my mother. It is evident as I get older, that I do things she did, I like things she liked.
I totally am addicted to notebooks, and pens,
I bought this one yesterday at the show I was doing.
The local library was selling them as a fundraiser.
The binding was removed, blank sheets were inserted, and the spiral binding put on.
The complete story was left inside.
They had many to choose from. I was torn: this one, or The Little Red Hen, or Moby Dick.
Up in my attic, I have totes of notebooks my mother used as diaries, dream journals, and more.
See what I mean?
Our show yesterday was in Peru, Vt. I have never done a show as well attended as this one.
There were so many great vendors, with so much talent. And the food was to die for, I wanted all of it!
Lois and my friend Linda, who is visiting from Georgia, helped me all day.
I could not ask for better friends. I am so blessed.
It was a good day, and Crazy as a Loom was very successful!
I love my old house.
I have an amazing family, and friends.
I love what I do.
Twenty two hot air balloons over Kingsbury.
Off to walk my sweet girl Naya.
Birthday party for a special 5 year old today.
Counting my blessings on this chilly fall morning.

SOOOO glad you had a good show! It's a real challenge to do all the work required for a show, and take all the time, if they're not well attended.
Sending you another email about a visit.
It's really a wonderful thing when we get a chance to count our blessings. Yours are abundant. And congratulations on that show having done so well. :-)
What an absolutely perfect piece of furniture, and it fits into it's new home so well. Congratulations on a good show, I used to love coming home after a good days selling.
That is a lovely antique. I agree we must count our blessings every day. Not just for the bigger things but the small and ordinary. We are fortunate to be alive and well.
I must do more of that counting!
What a lovely venue and a pretty show. I cannot believe our paths never crossed.
Such a beautiful piece of furniture, filled with memories and love.
Your home is so very cozy and inviting, I love seeing pictures of it.
Looks like a lovely show, and spending the day with a dear friend, priceless.
Hugs,

Lurker popping in--LOL! I love your old house, too. Glad you had such a successful show. (Not really a surprise as your items are so beautiful.) Enjoy your walk and the birthday party. :)
Your home always looks so warm and inviting and loved. the new piece is a treasure! Enjoy this beautiful fall weather - AMEN!
I just love that cupboard (? not sure really what to call it, but SUCH a good combination of useful bits!) and how lovely to have something that your cousin treasured, and now you only have to look at it to think of him. I like the look of your house - it has a lovely atmosphere, even through the medium of a photograph.
So glad that the Fair at Peru went well for you, and you had a dear friend to share it with. It looks a lovely setting (and great that the food on offer was so tempting and good too.)
We had probably the last "Wee Flea" of the season at Hay-on-Wye today. Not very busy, but met some lovely people including an American from Connecticut on a two week tour of Britain. Like you, I love my job!
