I have not visited in awhile and so ...Dear Sharon,<br /><br />I have not visited in awhile and so enjoy strolling through your creative and inspiring postings. Thank you for this quote: <br /><br />"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark."<br /><br />Agnes De Mille<br /><br />It is a way of life . . . exciting and ever challenging. <br /><br />I so admire your creative life!<br />Congratulations on your novel!! <br />I do hope you were not visiting Emily's house in Amherst recently?? I live only one half hour away and her world is a favorite of mine. <br />Touching story about your grandmother. <br />A joy to visit you.<br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067132532095325169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-31372987461440304242012-07-24T20:41:07.050-07:002012-07-24T20:41:07.050-07:00LOVE the closing quote, and could not agree more. ...LOVE the closing quote, and could not agree more.

It was after ...So thrilled to run across you again! It was after receiving your Sunflower Houses book as a gift that we just happened on your precious little shop "Heartsease" in Cambria, Ca. while crossing the country in our trailer. My heart was so full with all your little twists and turns of treasures! I was so sad to find you had sold the shop several years later! I am a folk artist and fellow flower gardener (although this year the drought is so bad it's hard to keep much blooming healthfully!) Love your pictures and story of Margaret Wise Brown's tiny farm house. Going to check out her chldrens books from the Library. I've thought I would love to travel around the country and paint little house I find and tell the stories I could find out about them for a book. At 75+ yrs. it proably won't happen, but doesn't keep me from think about it! Want to join your Grimy Hands Girls Club if I can get all the right buttons clicked! Love and Best Wishes to you, My Long Lost and now found Friend! Would love for you to come visit my art blog if you have a minute. mcreatesdaily.blogspot.comMarlynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566655511325088819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-44111649347346062972012-07-18T21:12:45.115-07:002012-07-18T21:12:45.115-07:00Love the jacket- perfect for wearing in Paradise!Love the jacket- perfect for wearing in Paradise!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215242522396155812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-12003001703991558762012-07-15T12:55:18.846-07:002012-07-15T12:55:18.846-07:00Sharon- you are an inspiration to us all!

And funny this one is about NYC, for I've been thinking about asking your opinion about something to do with this city. Talk about coincidences!

I thought when I first saw it posted that you were going to be posting from Maine but I am happy to read that you were able to do another search for one of your favorite writers. I would love to see Celia Thaxter's place. Have you ever done a post of that that I could read here? I have a book that describes her place and it has always intrigued me. The beautiful flowers she grew. She reminds me of you! And how I love the theme of this: Make your own paradise!!! How perfect! Instead of always looking outside for satisfaction or that "something" else...just make it right where you are!! You have really inspired me with this post. Thank you so much!! I'm going to pass it on.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046623774704584939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-43433041194813652402012-07-07T20:33:02.566-07:002012-07-07T20:33:02.566-07:00Hi dear Dee,
