Quotable Notables

No. 1

in our new, very occasional series

(because besides looking beautiful, and smelling divine, we like to be thought of... on occasion, when we're feeling up to it... as charming, bright, and witty)

“If you always do what interests you, 

at least one person is pleased.” 

“If you need a helping hand, 

you can find one at the end of your arm.” 

"If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun."

Katherine Hepburn

Not as smelly as boiling Easter Eggs...better than a new box of crayons!

Orange Red introduced in 1949 was retired in 1990 along with Lemon Yellow.
Magenta, my favorite color at age five, lives on.

 Enjoy the absolute cuteness of a farm animal without responsibility. Visit The Animal Print Shop. And although not Spring-like at all, I'm getting my Monkey fix there too.
