My Mom collected that set and eventually had enough place settings for our family of 20.

The snow we received the last 3 days is now melting in a constant drip drip drip. I know it will get hot all at once and I'll be yearning for these cooler days again...lol...so I keep reminding myself to enjoy them!<br /><br />Culling books is sooooo hard for me, too! I usually pass them on to my daughter or DIL and hat makes it a little easier. Your auditorium seats are so interesting and bring back memories. <br /><br />Sweet gifts from friends--such nice mail box surprises!

One is so easily distracted by old 'friends' that open to just the right pages for us to get caught between phrases. I never mind that kind of 'capturing'.<br /><br />John's corner looks cozy indeed. And all your lovely treasures--new and old--displayed so pleasingly. <br /><br />Here's wishing you a beautiful weekend, Vee!<br />Brenda<br />xox<br /><br /><br /> Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-45036982905016370122016-04-23T09:42:09.135-04:002016-04-23T09:42:09.135-04:00Lovely surprises in the mail!

It is so hard to give them up! I did take a few that aren't too special to the resale shop this week. But I brought 4 new-to-me books home. :) Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-81781169546148794632016-04-21T14:22:36.822-04:002016-04-21T14:22:36.822-04:00Hello my dear..

Culling books is hard for me, too. Lovely pillowcases from Deanna! <br />It's been exceedingly warm here this week with sunshine that makes the students squirrely.

Very hard to get rid of any of my "friends." Yes, a nap on the couch deserves a real pillow for true comfort.

I notice you have a bunny in one of your photos. I still have all 2000 of mine out and I'm just a little too lazy to pack them up. Oh well, it's spring, right?<br /><br />Books are hard to part with, I have to be brutal. I really narrowed mine down to cookbooks, gardening and decor. Then I began to dislike my Nook and the fact that the book sort of disappeared into thin air when I was finished. Does that make sense? So I've been buying books at Target and it's nice to see a little stack on my nightstand. <br /><br />Its fun to see things popping up, I have the chives and grape hyacinths as well. A lot of daffodils and some early tulips. I'm praying no more snow!!!<br /><br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-16211603539306437032016-04-20T09:19:58.991-04:002016-04-20T09:19:58.991-04:00Wow Vee!
