A Lovely Day on the Cape to see Susan Branch

hen my friend Joyce and I found out that Susan Branch was having a book signing for her new book, GRATITUDE, we just had to go.

This has become a custom with us.  Every book that Susan writes is magic and this one is a gentle reminder to be Grateful.  Written in her illustrated style, the quotes are a daily reminder to be thankful. "a book of inspirational thoughts and quotes.

The song The Sunny Side of the Street, always makes me happy.  Thinking about the simple pleasures in life and how blessed we are to enjoy our lives.  In Susan's new book, one of the illustrated quotes is...

Susan lives that quote in everything that she does and celebrates.  She celebrates her life, whether she is celebrating washing her favorite dishes in the sink, or enjoying her wonderful life with Joe.  She reminds me always through her writings, cookbooks, and blog, that we can create our own happiness celebrating our story.  Celebrating the simple things in our life, that define us.

Titcomb's book shop in Sandwich, Massachusetts hosted the event.  There were cupcakes, and lemonade and we sat outside in the garden listening to Susan's talk.

There was quite a crowd of course.

 Susan brought a basket of journals and some samples of her new mugs, which will be available shortly.  I have my eye on the one with the bluebird.  Joe was in there too, taking photos.

Blue skies overhead, birds chirping near the bird feeders and lines and lines of kindred spirits who also adore Susan.

I have written numerous posts about Joyce and my adventures at Susan Branch book signings.

Now I have a new book to add to my stack of inspiration.  Only this new one I keep nearby, so that I can fill my mind with lovely thoughts whenever I please.  Enjoy your day, and remember to choose the sunny side of the street.

A Book Signing by Susan Branch

My friend Joyce and I went to a book signing at the Best of British shop in Newburyport, Massachusetts to see Susan Branch and have our books signed.

We have met Susan before, and I wrote about it on a post about a book signing at Sandwich Town Hall, hosted by Titcomb's Book Shop.

Best of British surely was the perfect venue to host a book signing for Susan's book, A FINE ROMANCE.

I had ordered my Autumn, From the Heart of Home, 10th anniversary edition and brought it with me to have it signed.  While I was there I bought a few 2015 calendars and two books for Christmas gifts.

This is one of my favorite shops in Newburyport. As soon as Susan and her husband arrived, everyone in the shop broke out with applause.

Susan and Joyce have a chat while she signs a calendar and books.

It is always a pleasure to see Susan at one of her book signings, visit Susan's blog, read one of her books or enjoy her beautiful artwork.  'Til next time...she has a new book that she is working on and I look forward to reading that new book.  And so the romance continues.
