Good Tidings

Old books, New bulbs

Christmas 1898

Christmas 1898

I couldn't resist sharing this sweet inscription from inside one of my great-grandmother's books. A book she received for Christmas in 1898, no less! I only happened upon this just recently and apart from how delighted I was at the discovery, it was rather seasonally appropriate.

Merry Christmas, dear readers. I hope your celebrations are happy and joyful. To those who may not celebrate Christmas, I wish you joy and peace all the same. Good tidings to you!

Ah, your great-grandmother's book... a lovely Christmas souvenir from centuries past!

A very Merry Christmas to you too, Emily. I hope your plans include family, food, and a fireplace or two to send messages up. Happiest of holidays!
