Old books
of subtle shimmer
and modest embossment
your quaint ideas
where light has glanced
sheen of sweetness
your homely wisdom
honeyed truth
such glowing gems
can put the shine
back on the
tawdry day
From this blog you might expect a photo of an old book…! More of Frances Theodora Parsons and her talented friend and artist Marian Satterlee coming soon…

On a drab, rainy day this post and an awaiting book will take me into sunshine.
Thank you.
I just enjoyed the feeling and excitement you had of your book treasure, I love when anything makes me smile.
