Often I post of lovely discoveries
and today you will find me quite
happy with a table covered over
with old issues of Victoria magazines.
I'm completely delighted,
having found them in our library
re-sale store, in flawless
like-new condition, clearly
marked with a tiny sticker price
of 25cents.
A kindred spirit, had saved her
beloved Victoria's for some time, for
they date back to 1989.
How sad she must have been to
part with her treasures,
but surely found peace in
contributing to a good cause...... our town library.
While spending hours at a time,
comfortably seated for good reading,
I'm finding wonderful stories and
features that are timeless.

"Symphony in White"
James McNeill Whisler's
painting titled
"The White Girl"
I pondered on this page,
thinking her quite lovely.
The covers of Victoria are
always lovely to see, and
reveal much of the magazine's contents .....

A Smiling Summer
"There is a smiling summer here,
which causes birds to sing, and
sets the bees in motion, " writes
Emily Dickinson in 1858......
I'm enjoying promised good reading,
as you can see,
all the while,
beating the summer heat.....
Have a beautiful week, everyone! Dee Dee
