Good Housekeeping Sept 1926, cover by Jessie Willcox Smith

The gadgets waste money and space and usually are given away. I believe in less is more. Consumerism is sometimes addictive. It`s sad really.

I agree cilycoed!
Have yourself a very Merry (and relaxed) Christmas!

I think our children have missed out on some of the things we so took for granted ourselves. I don't really think all the gadgets we have now have saved the time we were told they would et al.

Merry Christmas Bamagrandma.

Thank you again cilycoed! I absolutely agree about the lost art and skill of relaxation. I love these old prints and magazine covers that remind us of sweet days gone by. We'll just have to be the example of not getting into such a rush to those coming along behind us!

Such a nice picture. Everyone seems to be rushing around these days, do you think we have lost the art and skill of resting/relaxing?

Thank you Bamagrandma
