Morning Glory

Sorry about being absent so long.
First there was husband getting a job in another state and all the worry and decisions concerning that.
Then ebay had 5 free listing days.  Good because they took my mind off being on my own.

Now, I'm sort of back to normal.  Whatever that is.

Just listed this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180991989996&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123.

Pretty book, huh?

"For flowers have distinct objects in life and are everything they are for the most justifiable of reasons...The means they employ to accomplish these ends are so various and so consummately clever..."

Redfield Proctor

I love the detail on this.  Believe it or not, it is a photo of a bookplate.  I don't know if there was a house called Redfield Proctor.  I have discovered that Redfield Proctor was a Governor of Vermont.  Perhaps this was his home?  Seldom do you see such detail in the printing processes of today.  One of the reasons, I guess, I love old things so much.
Here is the link for the ebay site http://www.ebay.com/itm/180976033808?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649.  In case you are intersted.

Miss Lavinia

inspirational stories of overcoming hard times.
1949
Stated First Edition

Lucy Jane Watson and her mother were sorting out the mail and putting it into the glass-faced compartments which separated their living-room from the space set apart for the village people when they came for their mail.
Lucy Jane and her mother had ad the Dewville post-office ever since Captain Watson died.  People felt sorry for them, and no one tried to get it away.  Everybody liked Mrs. Watson, and naturally she and Lucy Jane took a great interest in the village mail, and tried to do their duty by it.

Herbie the Love Bug

Found this book in a bookcase in the spare room.  Was going to give it to a neighbor for her grandson, as she is traveling to Charleston to visit him this weekend, but I found it had a bit of value.  Times being what they are, I am trying to sell it here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180973507714&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123

Japanese Warriors

from a small book with fascinating illustrations.  I know I would be terrified if this guy came after me!  He looks fierce and strangely elegant at the same time.  Not practical, maybe, but can't you see fashions based on him striding down a runway?
