We are studying this charming old book.
Amazing how frightening insects used to be in old illustrations. These ants, wow!
From the mountain book
This doll will be in our store soon. I believe it is stuffed with paper
And this pillow
Our cat recommends this rug. She and the chair are not available.
We haven’t seen much of this kind of weather this winter. We’ve been very lucky. (I do love this book)
On Groundhog Day I didn’t care if Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow. I laughed figuring I’d very soon feel like her
Then I read this in the New York Times
In the past month, at least 22 Afghan children under the age of 5 have frozen to death in refugee camps in Kabul, prompting deep concerns among aid workers.
I am very interested in this book. When I have more time I am going to sample some of these ideas at my house. My husband is a real artist and doesn’t need children’s craft books to help him invent things
(this drawing is quite delicate and I think rather old)
I like this though
This looks like it could teach me something
These are useful for collections of books

and I like these stamps a lot
This is actually not so new. I copped it for my husband on a perfectly good beautiful last summer’s day spent at a rather depressing antique mall that we both feel the same way about but feel obligated to visit once in awhile. (They have a slightly distorted oldies tape that they play all day every day. Imagine! They could be playing Maria Callas or Havergal Brian’s Gothic Symphony (I just heard a bit of that rare amazement this a.m. on Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin but you can hear a bit here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgUmpSWB-fc).)
It currently has pride of place in our living/dining room. It is designed by La Gardo Tackett and is a cookie jar and is missing its handle, which we don’t mind at all.
and we just bought this Kay Bojesen soldier at etsy
and my husband found this on one of those basement digs we sellers get into. It’s wooden also.
