"The greatest pleasure in life is that of reading. Why not then own the books of great novelists when the price is so small."

"Of all the amusements which can possibly be imagined for a hard-working man, after his daily toil, or in its intervals, there is nothing like reading an entertaining book. It calls for no bodily exertion. It transports him into a livelier, and gayer, and more diversified and interesting scene, and while he enjoys himself there he may forget the evils of the present moment. Nay, it accompanies him to his next day's work, and gives him something to think of besides the mere mechanical drudgery of his every-day occupation ~ something he can enjoy while absent, and look forward with pleasure to return to."


~ A. L. Burt Company book promotion, 1926.

Historic Cayuga ~ King Street

Today the Village Green on King Street is quite different than it was during the early years of old Cayuga. A picturesque gazebo replaces a market place where horse-drawn carriages once gathered. The old town hall and fire station stood where today's library is.

Historic King Street ~ Cayuga, Ontario

Grindstone Creek Gallery Pottery Studio & Gift Store ~ Opening on Saturday, June 25, 2011

A new shop on historic King Street, downtown Cayuga. It is an exciting development watching life return to what was originally the main business section of the village. In fact, King Street crossed the Grand River in the early years ~ bridging an island in the middle.

Kimberly and John Jeffrey came camping in the Haldimand area and decided to stay, purchasing the former Oddfellows Hall. The beautiful red-brick archways of their new store and studio are over a hundred and fifty years old.

Store Hours:
Tuesday: by appointment
Wednesday to Saturday: 11 am - 5 pm
Sunday: 1 pm - 4 pm
Monday: Closed

"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better place than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one breath breathed easier because you lived, This is to have succeeded."

~ Bessie Anderson Stanley (Amer., b. before 1900, d. 1952)
Best known for the famous poem, "What is Success?" written for a contest in 1904, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

"When I begin to write about flowers, I lose all sense of restraint, and it is far, far too late to do anything about it." ~ John Beverly Nichols (1898 - 1983) English author best remembered for his gardening books. Garden Photo: Compliments of a friend. Thank you, dear friend.
