So I try to get a copy from the library. Keep doing what you do, it’s a blessing.

Keep on loving those things with history, Janet. I will too. 🙂

I’m not quite certain How I got here. Thank you for writing the story of me, you did it beautifully!

And when family members ask ‘when are you getting rid of THAT?’. The old things are comforting and inspiring to me – the worn out places that indicate years of use, the broken and repaired bits, and even the useless items – things that the world has left behind.

I, too prefer the soft n’ worn~ It is heart warming to read your words. I often think of this when I touch vintage dishes, books and jewelry~ A lovely read!

Yes, worn places can bring comfort and peace. The familiarity of such places brings a flavor to life often lost in the hurried, new and “upbeat” shops or cafes. Finding myself in a quaint little place such as you described slows my life down; a welcome change from the pace of everyday life. Especially as I get older I am happiest when surrounded by quietness, or at least a muffled background of voices and such. I can think better, remember better and creativity flows richer when surrounded by worn, familiar places. I need to search out those experiences more often. Thank you for reminding me!

I yearn lately for that sort of place, hard to find where I live! Thanks for that gentle reminder that there ARE such places!

Their wear & chippy honesty evoke images of those who used them before me; time vanishes and we are all sitting at that oak round table with the five spare leaves in the closet waiting to be brought out for some fabulous get-together. I’ll think about that all day as I use my antique desk, lamp, teacup etc. Thank you!
