Autumn Has Arrived
This nostalgic print is from a primer entitled FALL IS HERE, copyright 1948. What better way to celebrate the first day of autumn, 2010, than with Dick and his faithful pup, Spot.
In surveys, fall is voted favorite season, running a close second to spring. I’m voting with the majority on this one. Some see the advent of autumn as an unhappy prelude to winter when everything turns brown and cold creeps in. I see it as a time of harvest and refreshing.
Whatever your perspective, “Come. Come and see, Jane. See the leaves fall.” It must be autumn.
What a precious reminder of the Dick and Jane books and the coming of Autumn.
Thank you.
Thanks, Mae. Do you remember Mrs. Hill’s little neighborhood store in the Dick and Jane Books? In retrospect, my fascination with a store right in the neighborhood that sold her baked goods, toys, and everything mother needed probably fueled my desire for my own nostalgic business. That resulted in 26 years in retail in a restored barn. I remember fondly the little neighborhood store in my village when we were young that sold necessities, handled the mail, and had a glassed-in penny candy counter. Oh, the good old days!

I found this quite by accident – I found DICK AND JANE SHEETS!!! Look at The Vermont Contry Store .com …..
Susan,
When I have grand-children, must have Dick & Jane sheets for them when they visit. Thanks for sharing. Visit often.
