I guess it's because from the time I was a very little girl, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I recently found my old first grade reader on EBAY and am considering a bid on it. It's not much, but I am trying to be a bit tighter this month. <br /><br />As for being the teacher's pet?<br />Well, of course I was. I guess I was a little suck up or something. wink.

I have some vintage books from my mother and her brothers. Love decorating with them too. <br />Can you believe school is nearly back in session once again. The summer flew by.

I love children's books and always loved for school to start. How sweet to have a fun dinner for the grands!

I think you're fabulous! Love this display! I'm a teacher so I'm not super excited about going back but that's because I procrastinated on things and now I'm running out of time. I have a small collection of vintage school supplies/decor that I pull out in September. I can't believe some schools across the country are already starting! I thought we were going back early! (I start on the 14th but my students don't come until the 21st.) Glad to know the kiddos are looking forward to school starting! (And don't worry, I will get excited about the new school year after I finish beating myself up over all the things I should have done!)Sweet Bee Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621819781979605687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-65207996047157435552014-08-04T11:40:27.316-05:002014-08-04T11:40:27.316-05:00Wow...Cooper is 8-1/2 months already.

(I'm so proud of her!)<br /><br />Yes, I was the teacher's pet--almost every year, but remember, I have a twin brother, so we stood out from the crowd. I loved school! That might be why I became a teacher.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Have a Happy Blue Monday!SmilingSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479373067844173653noreply@blogger.com
