March-ing Into Spring




Celebrating March and the coming of spring, lends to the anticipation of so many things.  What is that you look forward to?  I love that March winds blow away Winter's chill and the sound of the songbird does give to mornings fill.


 Sharing with you this week are a few quotes and writings about Spring and the month of March.  Following are some of the wonderful Etsy shops that comprise Team Vintage Vertigo along with some of their lovely vintage goods.  We hope you enjoy the read and browse...


"I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills, when all at one I saw a crowd, a host, of golden Daffodils, beside the lake, beneath the trees.  Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."

William Wordsworth







"Then you should say what you mean, the March Hare went on.  "I do", Alice hastily replied, at least, at least I mean what I say-that's the same thing, you know."

                                                           Lewis Carroll








book


brings to mind the writings of M. Romero LaFlamme...

"The sun is brilliant in the sky but it's warmth does not reach my face.  The breeze stirs the trees, but leaves my hair unmoved.  The cooling rain will feed the grass but will not slake my thirst.  It is all inches away, but further from me than my dreams."

"Each leaf, each blade of grass vies for attention.  Even weeds carry tiny blossoms to astonish us."

Marianne Poloskey   








"The air is like a butterfly with frail blue wings.  The happy earth looks at the sky and sings."

Joyce Kilmer

"St. Patrick's Day will soon be here you see.  We'll pick some Shamrocks, one, two, and three.  We'll count the leaves and look them over, and maybe find a four-leafed clover.  I'll sew green buttons on my vest, green for St. Patrick is the best.  I'll wear a green hat, very high, and dance a jig--at least I'll try!"

"The March wind roars like a lion in the sky, and makes us shiver as he passes by.  When winds are soft and the days are warm and clear, just like a gentle lamb, then spring is here."

"March is a Tomboy with tousled hair, a mischievous smile,


mud on her shoes and a laugh in her voice."

Nuts About Love

Driving through Southern California, I stopped at a roadside stand that sold fruit, vegetables and crafts. As I went to pay, I noticed the young woman behind the counter was painting a sign. “Why the new sign?” I asked. “My boyfriend didn’t approve of the old one,” she said. When I glanced at what hung above the counter, I understood. It declared: “Local Honey Dates Nuts”

Making the Grade

My high-school English teacher was well known for being a fair, but hard, grader. One day I received a B minus on a theme paper. In hopes of bettering my grade and in the spirit of the valentine season, I sent her an extravagant heart-shaped box of chocolates with the pre-printed inscription: “BE MINE.” The following day, I received in return a valentine from the teacher. It read: “Thank you, but it’s still BE MINE-US.”

Devoted and Determined

During World War II my parents had planned a romantic Valentine’s Day wedding. Suddenly my father, then stationed at Camp Edwards in Massachusetts, received orders to prepare to ship out, and all leaves were canceled. Being a young man in love, he went AWOL. He and my mother were married four days earlier than originally planned and he returned to base to an angry sergeant. After hearing the explanation, the sergeant understandingly replied, “Okay, okay!” Then, as an afterthought: “But don’t let it happen again!”

We hope you and your's enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's Day!
