Learning to Knit
"Valerie gave Coralie a lesson in knitting, with the idea of making a sweater she very much admired. After which they took a brisk walk downtown to purchase needles and wool.
Coralie had a feeling as she came back with her fat bundle under her arm, as if she were really beginning to amount to something at last. She was determined to knit a whole dress like Valerie's. It might take her years but she knew it was going to be fun."

Hi,
So glad to see you posting here again. I've got The Substitute Guest on hold at the library and I'm really looking forward to reading it.

Hi,
Just found this web site looking around for Marcia Spafford's seed cake recipe.
I am also a lover of needlework. I would inspire all to find a guild in in your area. Cross stitch and needle point are my favorite.
This is a dying art and we should be teaching it to our children. What a wonderful gift to give them.

I've acquired my old collection of GLH books from my parents and have enjoyed reading them again. It's amazing what a different perspective I have and how much more I'm gleaning now as a wife and mother than as a teenager, although I keep pondering how much they shaped me...
Anyway, I've thought of you as I've read. So far I've re-read Homing, A Daily Rate, and In the Way. Such fun, inspirational reading!!! :)
I am so glad I found this blog.
I am an avid reader of Grace Livingston Hill!
American friend found your blog mavilhoso. I love your country. I do not want to make the Brazilian President to the IMF money. And our people need a good medical care, public safety and so on. Hug a friend of the Manoel Limoeiro Brazil.
Friend love you like you were my follower on my blog. Do it please ok baby. A hug from: Manoel do Brazil.
Excuse me,
I thought you might have a recommendation of which Grace Livingston Hill book to begin with for a newbie?

i adore Grace Livingstone Hill. There was one book in particular that described one of the main characters doing over her apartment and it was absolutely FABULOUS. such wonderful inspiration. thanks for sharing this lovely quote!!!
Lovely,wonderfully delightful
