Saturday Storytime

We have a wonderful bookstore in our little town...

Apple Blossom Books!

Lots of books for kids and a good selection for adults.

And on Saturday mornings they have...

STORY TIME! 

The back of the shop has been turned into an enchanting

world for children...

cozy, colorful, creative, and inviting!

One of the cute young gals who works

at the shop is the Story Lady.

This week she read several books about

love & valentines.

My friend Jerry's granddaughter

chose to browse the books

rather than listen to Story time.

I love the way the littlest children

put their legs straight out in front of them

as they listen to the stories.

Such a cute age!

This little girl listened to the stories while she

played with a soft-sculpture tree house on the

colorful carpet.

The Story Lady presented an art

activity that was coordinated with

the books she read to the kids.

She had pre-cut heart frames with

white tissue centers.

The children used glue sticks to

attach pieces of colored paper.

Grandpa Jerry watched all the activity.

This little boy came in his footy pajamas.

He found a place of his very own

to create his heart.

Jerry's grandson worked so intensely and carefully

creating his heart.

When he was through, he held it up for me to see.

Isn't it lovely!

We said Goodbye to the bookstore

and went next door to the Carmel Crisp Cafe.

Jerry's granddaughter was so engrossed

in her new chapter book that

she was in a world of her own as

she ate her ice cream.

A fun morning was had by all!!
