Judy Martin has done it again ... this time posting a wall-full of unfolded vintage handkerchiefs that triggered an "Aha!" moment.
There's some backstory on all this to be found in the Retrospective I wrote today and added to the original post for April 16th: http://imgoingtotexas.blogspot.com/2016/04/take-to-highway-again.html
And here's the actual list of self-ish quotes I've been accumulating ...
Judy's post prompted me to see my stash of handkerchiefs as leaves in a book of quotes ...
Recalling the conversation with Don, with its unintended double entendre, I came up with this as the title ...

And subject as I am to magical thinking, I counted the number of quotes and the number of handkerchief pages. Would you be surprised if I told you there are 16 of each?
P.S. Speaking of Quotable Quotes, Nicole Throckmorton, a good friend from Eastern Virginia Writing Project days, is going to be a contestant in the Jeopardy Teachers Tournament this Tuesday night. If I had to guess, I'd say she'll do really well. Take a look and see if I'm right.
Coincidence... or your spiritual guide... makeing sure the numbers match. I like your idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the idea ... I take co-incidences as signs that I am on the right track.
DeleteLOVE this post--on 1000 levels.
ReplyDeleteThank you ... yesterday was a wonderfully fulfilling day
Deleteha, nice idea!
ReplyDeleteI definitely wanted to use the handkerchiefs in such a way that they could be touched and examined closely ... it'll be interesting to see what unexpected turns this takes.
Deletesuch a beautiful use of old hankies
ReplyDeleteThanks Mo ... as with your gloves, they are accessories whose time has come and gone except for those who find some new niche for them.
DeleteI love your list of self quotes....it has made me pay attention to the things I say over and over....and what a clever use of those wonderful old hankies!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how it goes ... I'm afraid my store of cliches is endless
DeleteWell, this is just more than swell! Word, book, stitch & self all coming together! (& watching your friend right now…she seems to be having a great time!)
ReplyDeleteSwell ... what a great word to pair with hankies!
DeleteAnd it sounds like my friend Nicole will make it into the semi-final round of Jeopardy next week (judging from the hints being left by her family members on Facebook). She is every bit as delightful in real life as she appeared on camera.
