But if I were to keep my Connecticut homestead, I had to earn a living. I could open my own shop. I could call it Indian Meadows.

I experienced such a rush of excitement I could hardly contain myself. All kinds of ideas were rushing into my head. There might even be a catalogue one day.

(after B. Bradford)
