For The Quiet Hour

I have been meaning to start this blog properly for ages and trying to think of something that's worth blogging about. I can't so i'm just going to start and then see what becomes of it! There is a lot to know about me but there is not much point stating it all in my first post. I'm sure it will all unravel through the course of this blog if i actually manage to keep this one going!


Anyway back to the title of the post. I was in oxfam last weekend and I found this little book called For the quiet hour. Its small and leather bound, but that soft leather that doesn't really look like leather at all, ooh i've just worked out how to post a picture here it is... 
Shame about my rank nail polish but oh well.. yeah and this book is just filled with quotes and sayings under headings of just about anything you could think of! Anyway as good as all that sounds the reason I 'had' to buy it was the inscription in the front ..

In case you cant read it it says To Mrs Balton .. A little gift of remembrance from the clinsdale sisterhood, May 6th 1912. How incredible is that. nearly 100 years old and here I am with it. I dunno I just love it. the paper inside is like parchment and the top edge of the pages are still gold  but they are worn on the main edge.  I don't know why I just really love it, i think its awesome when you find something so special.  

Not sure why I started with a love blog about this book as I'm certain the rest of my posts will fall into a mundane - ness about boring everyday life. It's always good to start on a high thought! 

Peace and love  xxx
