Thursday, June 18, 2009. Sketches in an Old Book. I found a set of four old books from my childhood hidden at the bottom of a box is the store room. I was going to give them to the neighborhood thrift store, but now I'm so glad I didn't. The pages are thick and creamy - taking pen and ink and light watercolor. The first one I've starting using for doodling and sketches is Old Swedish Fairy Tales. There are three more - all with wonderful watercolor illustrations. By Nathaniel Hawthorne 1921.

My Reading Diary: Coming Back
http://blogdelivre.blogspot.com/2013/06/coming-back.html
Saturday, June 15, 2013. I haven't been posting here for such a long time, and I was surprised to see that's it's been more than a year. A few reasons . after I broke my arm, I was typing with one finger on my left hand, but mostly I didn't feel like writing a lot . even though I've been reading a lot. My blogger friend, Nan, in New Hampshire gave me the idea to group some books in one post and just write a short synopsis. Finding me in France. Creative Book Publishing 2012. This book follows the life of...

Thursday, August 25, 2011. Was my first book, and it was wonderful. I was hooked, and since then I've read another of hers,. There are 81 items in the list, but only five or six of those have I bought. I do like the feature that allows me to 'sample' the books before I decide to buy them. Some of the most recent acquisitions are:. By Louis de Bernieres,. By Edith Wharton,. Collected Stories of Eudora Welty. I made a padded bag from some scraps in my sewing drawer. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. This novel tou...
