After Madeline graduated from the University of New Hampshire she obtained a job at Paine's furniture store in Boston. She lived at the Franklin Square House where all proper, single young women lived at that time. Here is a brochure about the rooming house, which was carefully filed away with her memories. Here is the list of the "rules": She stayed in Room 546 A. In 1970 the Franklin Square House was sold to the city of Boston and a high-rise, with 147 apartments, became the new Franklin Square House, providing affordable housing, shelter for battered women, and day care. An interesting fact about the building is that the front of the building was used in the opening credits of St. Elsewhere (1982-1988) to represent St. Eligius Hospital. (Loved that show!) Madeline lived here until she married in December 1946.

My sorting and organization project is in full swing. I think I have emptied all the boxes in the garage and now the task will become much easier. In the last box I found a large manila envelope bulging at the seams with old greeting cards. Most of these cards would be from the late 1940's through the 50's, as they were given to Madeline's children. There are so many! I do believe I could open a vintage greeting card store with all the cards I have discovered. It is mind-boggling! A few oversized cards stood out so I pulled them out and will feature in this post. Here is a sweet Christmas card featuring a little girl, snowman, and a bird. The snowman has two tabs which can make him stand out a bit when on a table. This is a Rust Craft card from Boston, MA. On the back is printed: "The original of the design reproduced on this card was painted by Marjorie Cooper a member of the Rust Craft Artists' Guild." It really is a beautiful card that would look great in an old frame. Baby's First Christmas in a shoe! The baby is actually a separate piece and can be removed from the shoe. I need to put this one aside in a special place as next Christmas will some lucky baby's first Christmas at our house. Another Baby's First Christmas card. Like the snowman above, the baby has tabs that make him stand out. The back of the card, with the note that it is a Marjorie Cooper painting as well. For a Special Someone - I really like this card because it shows a little girl, a puppy, a book, and a doll. All things I love. Just about all these cards were given to my sister-in-law Judy who was the oldest in the family. Santa on the chimney with his sack of toys. There are even a few feathers for his beard. This one was a Hallmark card from 1949. Moving on to birthday cards, this is a very cute one. Here is the back of the card with a little verse. The girl is on brads so she can be manipulated and her head rocks back and forth. The name of the maker is "Rock-N-Play Cards". On to Valentine's Day! This is a sweet card with a little kitten with a big bow. The kitten is flocked so he feels soft. On the back there is a cardboard stand to show him off. Last card - another valentine with a kitten. This one has a metal heart around his neck and also has a stand on the back to show him off. I love how each of these cards has something special about them. I think they are all true works of art.
Ludwig Bemelmans' first introduced the plucky heroine back in 1939. Now, his grandson carries on the tradition of the little girls in two straight lines. And if there was any confusion, he would like to set the record straight: It's not an orphanage; Miss Clavel is not a nun; and Madeline isn't French.

The end of this month officially marks three years in Atlanta for me, which is insane because it feels like only yesterday that I packed up a U-Haul and moved here . At the same time, though, it feels like a lifetime ago that I was living in Indy with my parents. So, so many things in my life have
In the quiet suburbs of Belhaven, a seemingly ordinary family, the Thompsons, found their lives intertwined with an extraordinary mystery that defied the boundaries of time and reality. Their daughter, Madeline, innocently spoke of a long-lost twin named Lila, setting off a chain of events that challenged their understanding of the world.
