All the happy FEELINGS this week @ The Little Book

All the happy FEELINGS this week @ The Little Bookshop!
🌈
Our favourite little Hawaiian has passed her B diploma - Hurrah Hurrah and thrice Hurrah - Stella’s Story Time was fabulous - the picture books are back in alphabetical order (thank you Stella!) - and we received flowers from a lovely friend 💜
🌈
Many cups of tea have been drunk, world problems have been put to rights, books have been discussed and at least one sheet of price stickers* has been chewed up!
( * not advisable, especially if you’re 98% fur as Humphrey is…we were peeling stickers off unmentionable places all day!).
🌈
In amongst all the fun and frivolity we have also managed to sell lots of books, recommended many more, briefly fretted about how big is ‘too big’ where a TBR pile is concerned. Then had another cup of tea, and realised that there is no such thing as a ‘too big’ to-be-read pile, and therefore felt much better about ordering a few more books to add to it.
🌈
Also spent a few happy hours listening to the inimitable @stephenfryactually discourse on the Victorians - I could literally listen to that gentleman read the phone book. How I would love to share a pot of tea with him - I’d even crack out the good biscuits.
🌈
And the shop day ended on a high when two little people came to tell me they were going on an adventure, but that they would miss me when they were gone!
( …they are away for 5 days, won’t give me so much as a passing thought while away, and probably won’t remember the conversation by bedtime - but, oh my, kids know how to pull at the heart strings!)
🌈
The life of a Lady Bookshop Owner is certainly never dull…

THANK YOU STELLA!
🌈
Everyone had a BRILLIANT time! Stella is a true professional, coping admirably with barking Humphries, noisy audience participation and chatty browsing customers!

💜
Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where I sit.
There isn't any
Other stair
Quite like
It.
I’m not at the bottom,
I'm not at the top;
So this is the stair
Where
I always
Stop.
Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up
And isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head:
“It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!”
💜
When We Were Very Young,
A. A. Milne, 1924
💜
A little bit of A. A. Milne plus a little bit of Humphrey makes for a good day…
💜
Not forgetting Robin the Frog of course…
(If you know, you know!)
