Quote from my Grandmother, "It's easier to keep up than to catch up."
I was so happy when I found this small vintage broom at a tag sale. It hangs in my entry and helps me recall a valuable lesson from my early years.

This sounds like an excellent idea to me, especially at Christmas with food everywhere.

Kansas City Library Parking Garage :: Community Bookshelf . . .
"I found a picture of this the other day while searching for photos from Kansas City and I knew I had to go photograph it myself. This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I live here and I've never heard of it before—it makes me wonder what other secrets my hometown might be hiding." Jonathan Moreau
What secrets are hiding in your hometown?
Some info from the kclibrary.org website about the books, an art piece called "Community Bookshelf"
"The Community Bookshelf is a striking feature of Kansas City's downtown. It runs along the south wall of the Central Library's parking garage on 10th Street between Wyandotte Street and Baltimore Avenue. The book spines, which measure approximately 25 feet by 9 feet, are made of signboard mylar. The shelf showcases 22 titles reflecting a wide variety of reading interests as suggested by Kansas City readers and then selected by The Kansas City Public Library Board of Trustees." See more photos in the following article: Read more about the features of this architectural wonder here.
Thanks for stopping by the cottage for a repeat performance. I published this post over a year ago and it remains popular. Those of you who haven't seen it should enjoy it. Make the most of the long weekend...I know I will. ♥Rosemary

Saturday around the cottage on Columbus Day Weekend . . .
It's Columbus Day Weekend and I hope you are going to spend some time in the country. The fall color is just beginning to pop at my house but it is in full swing as you drive farther north.
"Do something everyday that you don’t want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain."
Have a great holiday weekend. Thanks for stopping by the cottage. ♥Rosemary
