The Holiday Keeper: Never Stop to Think... Do I Have A Place For This?

Time to start thinking about what to get for those we love. 

The book at the top of the list: Never Stop to Think...Do I Have A Place For This? 

Mary Randolph Carter continues to show us how to live with what we love, and rejoice in it. How to share- with panache- the memories: how to make room for new ones. How to honor the past and delight in the present. 

Illuminating each space in her inimitable way, the author guides the reader through extraordinary dwellings and collections that fire the imagination. 

A book to be adored, thumbed through incessantly, and referred to often. A holiday keeper.

in order to return

the earliest memory i have is of looking up at the imposing prow

of a great ship in a harbor. the second earliest is of leis floating

in the water . . . armfuls of blossoms rocking quietly on the bright

surface, the scent of salt and rose and sea, of diesel, of plumeria and

straw: all of this rising on the waves & then gone. that such beauty

could be thrown off was shocking to me. that enough trust existed

to let it go is not forgotten. we must let things go in order to return.
