Grand Oak Emporium

Pick up a book at the bookshop then walk around the corner and say "Hi" to the staff at the Grand Oak Emporium. Take your book with you. There are little tables if you wish to sit for a while. You may find yourself having tea and sweets with lively conversation. ~ ~ The name says it all! There are surprises galore. Fancy things, practical things, unique gift ideas. Pick up something for dinner before you leave. Baked goods, Lasagna, Cabbage Rolls and more.

"The essence of all poetry is to be found, not in high-wrought subtlety of thought, nor in pointed cleverness of phrase, but in the depths of the heart and the most sacred feelings of the men who write." ~ John Keble, Lectures on Poetry, English churchman, poet (1792 - 1866)
