Mabel Murple's Book Shoppe & Dreamery
286 Allen Road BOK1N0 River John, NS, Canada

THIS IS FOR MABEL PAGE!!!

I am hoping that some of you we didn't see this year because we are closed will tune in to this on Thursday! We had David to ur shop in 2019!

We are missing everyone this year. Still, we feel given we are a close up and personal space, being closed this summer makes us better safe than sorry. We hope you are reading. We hope next year is a go. Stay tuned for 2021.

We love you Paulette Fowler. A new desk for Mabel Murple's for next year when we hope to be open once again!

Because we Love, We Cry. Sometimes there is no sense to things my child Sometimes there is no answer to the questions why Sometimes things beyond all understanding ... Sometimes, people die. When it hurts like this , my child When you are scared, suffering, confused Evne if we are not together Together, let us cry Yes, there is still so much love Because we love, we cry. Sometimes the sadness takes away your breath Sometimes the pain seems endless, deep Sometimes you cannot find the sun Sometimes you wish you were asleep. When it hurts like this , my child When you are scared and confused Even if we are not together, Together, let us cry Yes, there is still so much love Because we love, we cry. Wish that I had answers, child Wish all this wasn’t so There are impossible things ,child I cannot bear for you to know . When it hurts like this , my child When you are scared and confused Even if we are not together, Together, let us cry Yes, there is still so much love Because we love, we cry.

Sheree was asked to share! Happy listening.

The Frye Festival had to cancel but they have done amazing things ~to bring conversations with authors to your home.

What a reminder . ... let's keep dreaming of open doors and mingling times ahead. Thank you Maritimes Maven Coreen Mae Hildebrand

We do not know what will be open or not come summer. But Mabel is going to have some fun. Stay tuned for details.

We have not posted here often friends, for all is beyond words. But tonite, there was a light from the setting sun that shone on Mabel's house. Like a promise. We could picture families frolicking beneath the trees again, children searching for fairies and all of us reading books in the reading nooks. Keep reading. And, you know, holding hands in ways you can across the spaces that for now, are between us.

WE will have this, come summer. Lynn Davies is one of Mabel's Favourite poets.

This just rocks. Books on women "makers" and knitting at Mabel's this summer.

Once again. Brain Pickings delivers -- this time something very dear to our heart -- a children's poet-- almost forgotten -brought to light. What a storY! Exquisite.
