Yummy...

Ah! on Thanksgiving day....
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?
~John Greenleaf Whittier

Don't forget to come visit us tomorrow for the Fall Open House from 5-7pm(= 

There will be snacks and drinks and good deals....

The First Thanksgiving...

So once in every year we throng
Upon a day apart,
To praise the Lord with feast and song
In thankfulness of heart.
~Arthur Guiterman, The First Thanksgiving

The holidays are fast approaching...

Ah, the falling leaves the thought of Thanksgiving dinner with the family and Christmas decor popping up in every store...here's the Thanksgiving quote for the day...

Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; 

to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.  

~Edward Sandford Martin

Words...

"Words are not crystal, transparent and unchanged; they are the skin of living thoughts and may vary greatly in colour and content according to the circumstances and time in which they are used."

-Oliver Wendell Holmes

Hope you enjoy this quote and have a wonderful weekend!

More Children's books coming your way...

Apologies for not blogging much this week...it's been busy.  We've decided to have more children's books upstairs as well as downstairs.  So I've been spending most of my time cleaning and pricing children's books as well as trying to figure out the best way to display them.  So if you have time...come visit us and peruse the children's section.  Have a Great Day!!

"Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, 

to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him."

-Maya Angelou

"A bad book can not repent. It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance; but finding that they will read, he is doing all in his power to poison their books." -John Kenneth Galbraith
