QUAINT WORDS


This page will contain thoughts, poems, and prayers from old books that I have found at antique stores, flea markets, and garage sales (with an occasional treasure from a bookstore or eBay!). 


I love the rhythm and sound of the older English language, and am blessed by other believers who have gone before me!

ENJOY!
