Monday Morning Inspiration

Good Morning!!
Just as I wrote my greeting, I remembered a friend of my father's who came to visit us. He was the happiest person I ever met. He would wake up happy, very happy, almost annoyingly happy. He had every reason to not be happy. As a child he had polio and had to wear braces on his legs the rest of his life. Funny the things that we remember in the flash of a moment.
So we move on. Today's inspiration is the 1950 Fall Modes Royale catalogue. It is jammed packed with great ideas. Don't scroll through too fast, or better yet, come back and visit the pictures a few times as I think you will see something a little different each time.  
Enjoy!
























As I leave you this morning, my wish is that we can all find a way to be at least somewhat annoyingly happy and plant a lovely memory in the heart of someone we touch.
Have a wonderful week.
Rhonda
