Happy Mother's Day!

 

Some of my favorite Mother's Day quotes.

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.   ~ Honore de Balzac

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.  ~ Tenneva Jordan

Today's Quote

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best
day in the year."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thrifting, Rummage and Yard Sales

The things people discard tell more about them than the things they keep.

~ Hilda Lawrence

Since I opened my Etsy shop with vintage things, I have spent a lot of time hunting for treasures to sell in it. In Florida, this is the time of year for all the rummage sales and yard sales since our weather is so nice.

This quote made me think about some of the things I have seen and wondered how people could part with things like linens that their grandmothers stitched, old family photos etc. I'm too sentimental to part with anything that was made by someone in my family! In fact, I still use a couple of cloth diapers as dust rags that belonged to my son. lol He will be 25 next week so they have gotten some use over the years!

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."

Happy Father's Day

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
