Tickle a Teapotter Week! Sue is our hostess and she challenged us to use the cover of a book we're reading as inspiration for our card.
Well, I've been thinking about dusting off an old Christian historical romance book that is set in 1918 during the flu pandemic.
So I found it along with the book that came before it in the series, Ramshackle Rose, and I'm now rereading that one first. I first read it back in 2004 when it was published. It's set in Virginia, 1897, and it's absolutely delightful.
On the cover is Rose's leaning fence. She would like to straighten it, but that would disturb her beautiful Morning Glory and she couldn't have that!
Ramshackle Rose, by Cathy Marie Hake, can still be found in e-book format. The physical copies probably can be found in libraries and eBay.

Awww, your little sweetie reminds me of Holly Hobbie. Not sure if you know who she is or not, but I sure did love Holly Hobbie when she was in all her glory. Super sweet card Jen! ~Karen.
