"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Bayside Quilting

FarmBoy drove me to Olympia today, and while he listened to the Husky-Cal game on the car radio, I visited a new-to-me quilt shop called Bayside Quilting. It is my new favorite place. They had lots of fabrics like these, which I love. In fact they had the most amazing collection of 1930's reproductions, and just about everything else I could have imagined. What a treat!

If you can get to Olympia, Washington, I highly recommend you visit this shop. It is at 225 State Avenue (pretty close to the side of the bay).
