I loved the window with the snow swirling around outside and the flower pot on the windowsill, the cheerful yellow curtains, the blue striped wallpaper, the little bed just the right size for Corduroy. It is neat and orderly and cozy, things that still make me feel calm and secure. Most of all I loved the cozy quilt on Lisa's bed. I always wanted a room like hers, and except for the snow swirling around outside the window and the patchwork quilt, I now realize that I pretty much had it.
So, this morning while I was snuggled up in my bed reading Corduroy to Charlie, I laughed out loud when we came to that page.
I think my subconscious was working overtime when I picked out Charlie's bed and quilt:

You KNOW that you've been keeping a mental picture of that bedspread for years! Probably waiting for an opportunity to use it. Personally, I think it's great when the past and the present come together like this.
That's awesome!
I remember that book - a classic!
awwwwww! I love that book too (and the quilt-- is that PBK?)
