Well out and about today I spotted these little goodies three gorgeous old books not as old as I wanted but 50 years old and in such great condition I had to buy these, and all were about famous women from Marie Curie to Catherine the Great and George Sand now I have never heard about George Sand but I'm so glad I found this book because she really was a character a writer who defied society and even before feminine emancipation came to play, she dressed in men's clothes, smoked cigars and just being downright unconventional, but under the men's clothes she still desired love, one of her quotes on love was "One must love, I say, with all of oneself - or live a life of utter chastity.....
George sounds like such a character if only I could go back in time....
Onto other things a white lace doily, perfume sachets and my favourite a Queen Anne metal basket were some of my finds today, so going back here but by myself so I can look and search for other goodies without having to hurry up.....
Onto other things looks like I'm back to homeschooling so once again have to fill out the ten page application that is involved and start working on a criteria so the next couple of days I will be searching for all the right forms so I can get it started....
Just a short post for today....
