We arrived early and had a great time poking around....there were several new vendors and lots to see. I found a couple treasures and two of my favorites are this sweet little Storybook doll..I collected these when I was little and thought she would look perfect on my bed side table. I also found this neat little round celluloid frame and I've already put a favorite picture of Lisa and me in it.This past weekend I finished a good book, well, I thought it was good...
I really liked Alice's Tulips. This story takes place during the Civil War and tells the story of the young and older women left behind when their men went to war. Oh, the hardships they endured.....I laughed and cried with them and felt as if I knew these interesting and brave ladies...for me it was a very good read. This .......
is my next read, it's the fourth book in this series and I'm anxious to find out what's happening with the Elm Street quilters. What are you reading...I'd love to know....hugs, Lindap.s. Whoops, I just realized I'm reading The Cross-Country Quilters...sorry for my mistake...L

What a great post today. I reunited with friends from 31 years ago last summer and the renewed friendships have been such a blessing. I remember the storybook dolls too and the books you mention sound like great reads. Thanks so much and have a great day.
Hi:
I just posted the books a read on my blog also. I have that book Alice's Tulips, but haven't read it yet. I read some of the quilt books while at Heidi's. She has all of them.
Your little doll and the frame look very nice together. That is a very good picture. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
Have a good day.

Hi Linda
Had to come over and see what's new with you.
Sweet little doll. I have 2 of them in their boxes...or maybe they aren't storybook ones..Hum...
Anyway, they are sweet.
Take care.

Wow! That is so cool that you are still friends with some people from your old neighborhood! It sounds really cool. The peddlers fair sounds fun! I love the doll in the first photo. :)
Hi Linda, I am like you....wondering where time is going and amazed at how fast it flies. I crawl into bed everynite wondering where the day went. Alice's Tulips sounds like a great read. I have a friend who has written and had published some Civil War books. They are about stuff that you won't find in the history books and very, very interesting and fun to read. xo Lynn
