 “I love it when I catch someone's reaction at my stores when they turn a corner and come upon something unexpected. Maybe it's something they didn't know they had to have until that moment, or it's the way we've displayed something that's a little out of the ordinary that they might be able to use in their decorating.” —Mary Carol Garrity

The Little Book of Steam

Clive Groome

Little Book of Steam tells the evocative story of steam railways from the end of the 18th century, when an early pioneer built a small, three-wheeled steam-powered machine. Soon after a simple steam engine was pulling coal wagons in Wales, and just 21 years later the world's first public railway opened between Stockton and Darlington. By the 1960's steam engines were on their way out to be replaced by the less romantic diesel and electric locomotives. But the steam legacy lives on, thanks to the hard work and dedication of enthusiasts.

Lady bird - The Ultimate Trivia...

Film Trivia Metaverse

LADY BIRD 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY GRETA GERWIG 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Lady Bird is a coming-of-age drama directed by Greta Gerwig, set in Sacramento, California, during the early 2000s. The film follows Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson, a high school senior with dreams of leaving her small town and attending a prestigious college on the East Coast. Throughout the story, Lady Bird navigates her strained relationship with her mother, Marion, her evolving friendships, and her romantic relationships. The film explores themes of identity, family, ambition, and the challenges of growing up. It captures the universal struggle of adolescence, blending humor and emotional depth in its portrayal of self-discovery. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Saoirse Ronan had some stage experience prior to filming Lady Bird, and the hot stage lights caused some acne. Instead of covering it up, Ronan and makeup artist Jacqueline Knowlton convinced Greta Gerwig to leave it visible to differentiate the film from other coming-of-age dramas featuring teenagers with perfect skin.” 
  
“Saoirse Ronan once mentioned that the most challenging word for her to pronounce with an American accent was "perfect."” 
  
“Greta Gerwig has revealed that she was the complete opposite of her character "Lady Bird" during her youth, being more strait-laced and less rebellious.” 
  
“Greta Gerwig shared that the first draft of the Lady Bird script was 350 pages long, which would have made the film nearly 6 hours long.”
