Holiday Look No.9: Little Women

It's time again for our monthly Pickwick Ladies Book Club shoot. This month was Mel's choice of Little Women. I grew up in love with the movie- to me there were no better actors than Winona Ryder and Christian Bale, but it took till now for me to fully read the book. What a complete gem. I cried over the love and tenderness the sisters showed each other and the caring wisdom bestowed upon them from their parents. There are truly so many life lessons in this book. So, how cool is this little old shack?! Cole and I stumbled upon it today while we were taking the dogs for a walk. I almost forgot about it when we left to take photos, but luckily remembered just in time. It's too perfect. This may be the last holiday look, but I'm hoping to squeeze in one more before New Year's Eve.

By-and-by Jo roamed away upstairs, for it was rainy, and she could not walk. A restless spirit possessed her, and the old feeling came again, not bitter as it once was, but a sorrowfully patient wonder why one sister should have all she asked, the other nothing. It was not true, she knew that and tried to put it away, but the natural craving for affection was strong, and Amy's happiness woke the hungry longing for someone to `love with heart and soul, and cling to while God let them be together'.

Thank you so very much for all the lovely anniversary wishes! You are all so very sweet! Once Cole and I arrived up north, my parents treated us to a very lovely dinner at the Rowe Inn. It was, in a word, delicious!

Also, I wanted to say "Hello!" to all my new readers! Your lovely comments have not gone unnoticed. Once I'm back home again, I will return the favor.

Yours,
