These are just some of the great conversations going on in the Forum

We would love to share your Instagram posts in the Drapery & Design Digital Digest!  Instagram changed how hashtags show and no longer sorts by date, making it difficult to find recent
posts. Instead, tag the Library – https://www.instagram.com/csf_resource_library/ and we will include your beautiful photos in the Digest.

Quotes I'm Thinking About This Week:
"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

Harriet Tubman

I'm not sure why this particular quote resonated with me today, perhaps because Ms. Tubman could be so positive at a time when she had few resources yet have such vision.  I found it inspiring this week.  I hope you do, too.

I hope you have a great week!  

Ceil

When in doubt, go to the Library!
