Early Autumn - Apple and Cinnamon

New VapeSafe Early Autumn eLiquid.

Early Autumn - Apples and Cinnamon flavored eLiquid evokes memories of the beginning of fall. The feel of the warm autumn sun on the skin. The sight of vibrant hues of amber and crimson leaves hanging in gently swaying trees soaking up the light. The rustling sound of the breeze slipping through the tree branches tugging and teasing the remaining leaves into releasing their hold and floating downward. The laughing children raking the leaves into piles and then running and jumping into the soft, luscious piles scattering the leaves again. The delicious smells of baking apple and cinnamon pies wafting through open windows. These are the sights, smells and tastes of Early Autumn.

Early Autumn eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of Autumn no matter what season it is. Early Autumn eLiquid is flavorful combination of apples and cinnamon. As with all of the VapeSafe eLiquids, our mixtures are designed to produce nice, heavy vapors and the most succulent flavors. Try Early Autumn eLiquid today!

Description

There's a little yarn store in Seattle.

It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love…

Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is "How to Make a Baby Blanket." Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan wants to knit something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daughter-in-law. Carol Girard feels that the baby blanket is a message of hope as she makes a final attempt to conceive. And Alix Townsend is knitting her blanket for a court-ordered community service project.

These four very different women, brought together by an age-old craft, make unexpected discoveries—about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and more…

Summary: "A little too cheesy"

I wanted to like this book. My mom liked this book (and the whole series), but I just couldn't get over a few things. For one, I'm the same age as Lydia's character and I don't think the author has a realistic idea of what 20-somethings and 30-somethings are really like.

Secondly, the characters are all truly stereotypical cliches. Example: Alix. She's dark, she's moody, obviously she must have purple hair, wear black leather, and naturally she has an awful family life where her parents end up in jail and her brother does drugs and dies. Then miraculously she meets an old friend from her past who is (of course) a youth pastor and she suddenly wants to turn her life around and knit him a sweater. SERIOUSLY? And what's with the drug dealer named T-Bone..... SERIOUSLY? It's almost like the author watched some awful 1980s after-school special with the "drugs are bad" message and too many old-school rap videos and then, since that wasn't enough, threw in some emo & goth tendancies, and Voilà!: Alix's character! And don't even get me started on Jacqueline.

Moving on..... another thing that bothered me was the absolutely ridiculous event that occurs at the end of the book with Laurel. That was another moment where I had to stop reading and just think..... SERIOUSLY?

And this yarn shop Lydia opens - with an apartment above that she lives in - is located on Blossom Street which is undergoing some construction and renovations... yet apparently the alley right behind her shop (and her apartment, mind you) is so dangerous that you could be jumped and have a knife pulled on you if you dare park your car there or walk through the back. SERIOUSLY?

Ok - I did like some things about the book - I liked Lydia's story - I just wish she stood up for herself more.... and the story did keep me turning the pages to see what would happen, so there's that.

It's definitely more geared towards an older set of readers who think all kids who wear dark clothes and don't attend church regularly are "hoodlums." But be warned - it provides a really warped, unrealistic, and distorted view of young adults today.

Summary: "Great Read"

I enjoy reading Debbie Macomber books. Her Blossom Street series is especially delightful with the characters crossing over in the stories. After reading a couple of books, they become like friends. If you like stories without violence, bad language or graphic sex, you'll enjoy Debbie Macomber.

Summary: "Unique and Wonderful book"

The Shop on Blossom Street is truly a unique and interesting story with compelling wonderful characters. The main character Lydia who has survived cancer twice follows her dream and desire to reaffirm her life by opening a knitting store. She sinks her entire savings into it. Soon she meets three new friends; each with their own challenges. Jacqueline has a marriage she needs to save. Carol cannot get pregnant and desperately wants a child. And Alix a mixed up teenager has trouble with the law and life in general. It is remarkable how each woman life is changed for the better. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost hope for their life or needs to be reminded of what is really important in this crazy world.
