Braggin' Up Our Little Town

Hey!  There's a new link on my sidebar that is very exciting for folks in our area:  Silk Stocking Row  Isn't that a great name for a blog?  Well, never mind that, it's an even better name for a book!  The Silk Stocking Row blog is all about the book written by Suzi Barnes, a Denison, Iowa native who owns one of the most beautiful homes in our little town - complete with a bed and breakfast and jewelry store all under one roof!


(Yep.  She lives in that house!)

When you visit her blog, you will get a great sneak preview of the book that is due to hit the stores this weekend.  The book is a wealthy 450 pages of pictures, articles, recipes, home remedies - you name it - all about life in the early 1900's in Denison, Iowa, a must have for locals and all history lovers in general.  I can't wait to get my hands on one!


It sure will be fun to learn about the stories behind the pictures.

and Congratulations on your great accomplishment!

  2. That is truly exciting...We had a book signing, my moma put it together, for a native Mabanker lady, who wrote a memoir. It is a lovely book and was so exciting for our little town, so I know how you're feeling! Lezlee
