Grace Livingston Hill, World's First Hipster
"Cary's room should be painted white, walls and ceiling and all . . . and then she would stencil little birds around the top of the walls. That would be a room to which he could bring home his friends."
If ever I start feeling like There Is No Point to all this work I just read Recreations. That housekeeping can win the war against flappers and racy living is such a comforting philosophy.
My daughter is a budding artist and so far has drawn pictures of Clytie Dodd and Athalie(Tomorrow about this time)while I have read the books to her. Amid much laughter we tuck the images into the corresponding books to be found when we read the book later. Amy F.
I followed the link that Cassadie posted for Put a bird on it. My husband walked in and said "What in the world are you watching". I replied "I am not sure!?". What followed was a hilarious hour of watching one Portlandia after another on youtube. I am sure I am hopelessly unhip as I had never even heard of Portlandia. Thanks for the laugh Cassadie. Amy F.
That's funny. That's the book I'm reading right now. Just read that part yesterday. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Beauty for Ashes. Pretty bird. Great author. Good job!
