THEME THURSDAY

                       
This is a great new weekly theme hosted by kavyen at Reading Between Pages. If you haven't checked out her blog, I highly recommend it!

Here are the rules:

A theme will be posted each week on Thursday
Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from your current read
Post it along with the author & title of the book
This event is open for the entire week                                                                               

This week’s theme is –

Beauty Related (Hair, Makeup, etc.)

"Myrtle had hair soft and white as dandelion fluff that she liked for me to comb out and roll for her.  They was all good-looking women, but Della was the prettiest.  Her hair stayed black right up tot he end of her life...."

Bloodroot, p. 6 by Amy Greene

I'm reading about old-time mountain folk here and they are far more interested in natural remedies than beauty treatments.

  3. Count me in for the "dandelion fluff" too - you can practically feel the wispy softness that may not last much longer...
