I'm sharing my favorite authors with you today! Its almost overwhelming when I think of how little we had as kids, and now our home overflows with all kinds of things I've collected over time. Oh, the blessings of life....how many and how seldom I kneel and thank God for the beauty of 'little things'. I'm so thankful to belong to the King...I'm a child of love, He never forsaketh his own...
Ooooh, how I love Miss Read. Her writing has given me great pleasure many times. Her books really hold their financial value over time.
More favorite books....Mildred & Elsie. Ever tried these? They are oh so precious!
Here are some of my beloved Elsie Dinsmore books...I love the close relationship portrayed between Elsie and her Father. I really believe it is a picture for us of the loving relationship between God our Father and the child of God. How sweet...we should hunger & thirst for that close relationship...in a manner of speaking.
A gorgeous tatted handkerchief a dear friend had made for me. And, a nice time to admire it on my 63rd birthday.

Your books are treasures.
I have just begun reading the Miss Read books , I'm starting with the first one. I've got a little collection going of the paperbacks from the sixties and seventies. They are so dear! I will look for the author in your last photo too.
I just have a feeling I would like those as well.

Oh happy birthday ! You ARE so very blessed, so I'll just wish that you get to enjoy every minute of it !

You always inspire me with your book lists, and especially so, now, getting to see them lined up on your shelves. I hope I can remember some of these authors the next time I visit our town's little library.
