I Forgot the Best Part

I have been working on Valentine ornaments and have just uploaded the image at right - my latest and greatest.  The best part is the tiny scrap quote in the upper left corner, which I am sure you can't see.  I happened upon a tiny little leather bound book of quotes last year when I was helping to sort through my grandparents belongings with my siblings. It was published by Hallmark, not sure when, but it's old and vintage and good.  I think I remember a little squabble with my sister over ownership.  When I told her it was from Hallmark, she didn't want it any more - ha, my strategy worked.  It is a treasure. She is a bit of a literary snob (love ya).

Here is the quote.

Fear less, hope more;

eat less, chew more;

whine less, breathe more;

talk less, say more;

hate less, love more;

and all good things are yours.

Swedish Proverb

Oh those swedes! Who knew that chewing more could be such a blessing.
