About Me

Grandma Linda's Daydreams: I started blogging with my baby grandson on my lap. I intended to write about being a grandmother, the best thing that ever happened to me. I also wanted to share my faith, homemaking, and garden ideas, and vintage and antiques. I thought blogging would help me with my writing and photo-editing, so I could open an online vintage shop. I also ended up writing about my breast cancer journey and grieving the loss of my son. But in one year, I did open my Etsy shop. I also attended and sold at a few antique shows each year . Later I opened a booth at a co-op antiques mall. In Jun 2019, I finally opened a real storefront! A nostalgic place to shop, a trip down memory lane. I think people like to visit and find value in old things with a history. We have small tea parties, and I anticipate many other events!

Grandmothers are just antique little girls!

"A house needs a grandma in it. "
---Louisa May Alcott

It is as grandmothers that our mothers

came into the fullness of their grace.

----Christopher Morley

Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of children!---Alex Haley

Family is the most important thing in the world.
----Princess Diana

"There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human society, are created, strengthened and maintained."

---Winston Churchill

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only a far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look, can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.
----Karen Raun

You can block your dream when you allow
your fear to grow bigger than your faith.
----Mary Morrissey

Everything starts as
somebody's daydreams.
---Larry Niven

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. --Gloria Steinem

When you go through deep waters
I will be with you
When you go through rivers of dificulty
you will not drown
For I am the Lord your God
Holy One of Israel, Your Savior.
-Isaiah 43

Happiness is a perfume
you cannot pour on others,
without getting a few drops
on yourself!

The worst thing you can do to a kid
is tell them
that their dreams are invalid.
