I am becoming quite the re-blogger lately, but I have a method to my madness. First off, I want to clarify why I wrote that finding the article on the Curio shop validated changing my blog tagline to Pieces of a Dream.

Today I finally visited the Curio shop and chatted with the owner Louise. Her store is beautiful, reminiscent of part antique store, part art gallery. If you live near Northwest Philadelphia and the neighboring suburbs, I would highly recommend you stop over to browse or make a purchase. Or you can visit online at curiophiladelphia.com

I walked away feeling more complete and less afraid. No one or no thing is ever broken or deserving of disregard or rejection. All is necessary and contains value.

Here is an excerpt from the owner of the Curio Shop that I found quite inspiring:
