Eat more fruit this year is one of my resolutions. I love a big, crisp, tart apple like these shown in my wonderful Georgian glass bowl. Sometimes I cut them into slices with a sharp knife and sometimes I just take big bites. They are very healthy too. I think there is a lot of truth in this quote.
I couldn't resist making this. Happy New Year everyone. Good luck with your New Years Resolutions. Organization is at the top of my list. I'll start with putting away all of my Christmas decorations neatly on New Year's Day.

I saved this greeting to my computer a year ago when I did not have a blog. I have no idea where this 105 year old calligraphic image originated or I would give proper credit.
I am told by my friends who have grandchildren that in some school kids don't even learn cursive writing these days. Is that true? I loved penmanship in grammar school where I was taught the Palmer Method using a real ink pen that was dipped into a bottle of ink.
Actually I find myself writing less and less with my fountain pen and that makes me sad. There is really nothing more beautiful than fine penmanship on nice paper.
Before this day is over in my time zone, I want to send my thanks for all of your words of encouragement that please me no end. Another blogger was able to articulate this sentiment perfectly and I quote,
"To all those people who have commented or sent emails to which I've not replied because I was too busy or too lazy or forgot, and to the rest of the faceless silent hordes who traipse through this rest-stop and who, like me, find some measure of beauty or solace or interesting weirdness in this crazy world among the illustrated cultural history we are privileged to have access to online, I wish a peaceful and happy new year." I couldn't have said it better! Thanks, Peacay of BibliOdyssey

Nothing says Happy New Year like an elf riding a pig in the snow. Or is that a gnome?
This vintage tin noisemaker is amazingly loud. I'll use it to ring in the New Year.
