a sneak peek

i have this habit of making my way into thrift shops
and finding lovely old books.
i have recently decided to recover the illustrations ...
to make something old into something new.
and so, stationary. why not?

the old man sleeping. he's one of my favorites.

the mushroom illustrations were from a great little
book called 'mushrooms and molds'.

Doors. Photographed from a day in Greece.

to add a little color to my black and white blog. i knew it needed something.
now ... back to reading!

A place to begin. Family!
