Something Borrowed

A Literary Quote from a Book, Author or Reading Proverbs that I LOVE.  I named the section like I did because as a passionate reader I like to use representation titles or words that I see in my favorite books.

*Something Borrowed: a literary quote with a beautiful meaning.

“Wear the old coat and buy the new book.”

    I live this as my motto. So please don’t insult my coat ;)
    Actually you might say I live it more like; Wear the old coat give money for someone else to stay warm…or buy a book ;)
    Education and keeping others fed and warm are way more important to me than new things. (Says the woman going Black Friday shopping in a couple days…yep, I’m complex)
