Bookish Questions – Do you have plenty of bookish items around your house?
Do you have plenty of bookish items around your house? Define plenty. I have lots of books and book related items around my house, but I feel like I’m severely lacking in shelf space. We have two fairly large shelving units in the house. There is one in the spare bedroom where I keep my…
Read MoreBook It! – Hazy Shade of Winter
It’s February, and the weather around here has been nothing by cold and heartless. It was in the 50s during the 1st week of February. But that warmer weather was a tease. We got more cold weather and snow again. Then it got warm again. We had a 70 degree day and then got snow…

My entire childhood, ‘C’ was for cookie, and that’s still good enough for me. But now cookie monster wants us to eat our fruits and veggies, so I guess ‘C’ can be for Clementine too. This week’s photos were all taken during a break at the office, using an iPhone.

Read More#Project52 – Yellow
This week’s them for #EverydayProject52 is Yellow. And while I don’t have much yellow in my wardrobe, I do still seem to have a lot of it in my life. Especially in my book collection. It’s a good thing I don’t arrange my books by color, like some people do. I think my shelves would…
Read MoreBookish Questions – Do you use bookmarks a lot?
Do you use bookmarks a lot? ALL THE TIME! I have an assortment of bookmarks in my collection. Some are bookmarks I got for free from places like Barnes & Noble or Book Depository, while others are ones I have made. Some of my favorite ones I’ve done myself are the ones I printed from…
Read MoreTenugui by #AnnaInSpain
Anna has made a new accessory and thought (correctly, I might add) that we would all be interested in it. If you’ve ever watched Japanese cartoons, you’ve probably seen women wearing “tenugui”. Guys wear the headband type with slogans, but women wear them when cleaning or gardening, as a head covering plus sweatband plus keeping…
