I hope I don't get banned from Wordless Wednesday by changing it a little for my blog. Now ya'll know that there is no way I could do a wordless post! Wordless Wednesday is sponsored by Dixie at French Lique, Texas. Be sure you go to her blog to link to all of the other fantastic Wordless Wednesday posts. Dixie is so great at picking topics. Today's topic is books, and I am showing two of my mother's childhood books. When I started posting some illustrations from these books, some of them reminded me of some blogs I visit. "Humpty Dumpty" (1905) "The Rejuvenation of Mama and Papa Goose" (1916) Christine's Home and Travel Adventures Gloria at Happy To Be finally holding her new great granddaughter Designs by Gollum Life At Ann's Place Delusions of Grandeur My Secret Garden Weekend Cook Confessions of a Plate Addict Something About Running The Painted Garden The Artist Our Adventures With Tassie There's An Angel on My Front Porch Lady Katherine Tea Parlor
Etiquette With Miss Janice Dawnie's Life If By The Sea

Thank you so much for coming by for my "Not-So-Wordless Wednesday". Be sure to go to French Lique, Texas to get links to the real Wordless Wednesday postings (Well, you don't actually have to go to Texas, just click here, and go to Dixie's blog). Cynthia said...

You are so clever! I love this Not so Wordless Wednesday Post. (LOL) Those books are such a treasure. Cindy

Good Mornin' Laurie! Girlfriend, do you ever sleep?! I can just see you at 1:30 in the morning arranging these books and taking pictures while the DH is snorin' away! But I'm glad you did cause I certainly enjoyed them this morning! I'm up early because my DH is heading out of town on business early this morning. Laurie, I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your blog! You are so funny and sweet! God Bless you today! Lauralu :)

I sometimes think I would like just a peek inside your brain, for just a second, to see how genius looks while it is working. Then again, best to just enjoy the fruits of the labor.

You nailed everyone that I knew perfectly. It must have taken quite a long time to assemble this post, so thank you for your time. I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it.
