Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

"The world is neither Scottish, English, nor Irish, neither French, Dutch, nor Chinese, but human, and each nation is only the partial development of a universal humanity." - James Grant on founding the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights, 1862

I love you.

Han Solo:        ”I love you.”
Princess Leia:  ”I know.”
Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

OK, these are just some of the cutest things in the entire world and I just bought the original Brown Bag Lunch set as a gift for Christmas.  I.love.them.  If you have any young-ish nieces, nephews or neighbors around that like to pretend to cook OR who like to cook and play pretend, please buy them some of these. They’re absolutely adorable!

I found them via the Etsy.com website, home to all kinds of wonderful things. For me, they were cute enough on their own to buy, but it was extra nice to know that they’re being made by a small group of hard-working America moms who use natural fibers. Every one is individually made, with lots of hand-stitched details. How could I not love them?

Just to clear up any suspicions, I don’t know the woman that makes them, although I talked to her on the phone for a few minutes yesterday when she answered some questions I had about shipping and stock on hand. She’s very nice.

What’s that? You need a little sneak peek, before you’re willing to click through? Oh, alright…
