10 on 10--Little Golden Books

-
For today's Ten on Ten,
I thought I would feature some
of the most beloved children's
books of all times.
Little Golden Books

These are some of the Little Golden Books my children had
when they were young.

We often read this one at bedtime.


This one is backless because it was so well loved.

We must have really loved this one because
we still have not one, but two copies.

This is a favorite of many, many children.

I don't think Jeremy was too fond of this one,
but Kelly loved it.

A Christmas classic.

Excuse the blurriness of this photo. Our books
ranged in price from 39 cents to 89 cents.

This one was really special because
it helped teach my children
how to be true friends.
If you would like to know more about the history of
Little Golden Books,
Leonard Marcus, an excellent children's literature historian,
has written a delightful book called Golden Legacy.

You've got a gold mine there--those books are not cheap anymore, are they? Jackson has been playing with his daddy's Fisher Price cars today, so it pays to save things....

When I saw the cover of the Magic Friend Maker, it brought back a memory. I'm sure I must have had that book and I remember loving the story. I know I loved the Pokey Little Puppy!

Excellent post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more
on this topic? I'd be very grateful if you could elaborate
a little bit more. Many thanks!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
