Lord, this humble house we'd keep sweet with play and calm with sleep. Help us so that we may give beauty to the lives we live. Let Thy love and let Thy grace shine upon our dwelling place.
Where is Elm Street Antiques? I want to go, too! I love this piece by Edgar Guest. I enjoy everything he writes. My dear little mother has many books of his poetry. I think I'd better borrow one or two! ~Adrienne~
Ooo, you keep teasing me with these Elm Street Antiques photos! Perhaps it's a good thing I cannot go there, I would spend WAY too much money!
I enjoyed reading about your mother's "wedding gifts". I just bought a vintage tablecloth with strawberries all over, will blog soon.
I usually like a terry towel for general dish drying, but must have a tea towel for glass. I recieved some xmas towels as a gift, they are not terry... I'm unsure of what they are! But they do not dry at all!! They actually pushed the water around, lol! I guess they're just for looks!
Bucky is such a beautiful kitty~
You probably saw some of my hankies in the bathroom window, and in my Valentine vignette. I have another idea I want to do soon, and hope to share!

What a good idea to take pictures at the antique store, and to pair them with such lovely poetry! You are very creative.

I enjoy visiting my antiques store here, but still yearn for soft beautiful room vignette like those at your Elm Street antiques.
