breathing the papermust smell and stamping inside covers: turning yellowed pages of books on species: intricately illustrated plates: endpapers and ribbon markers: all that hush: what's not to love!
I do like this-and would love to work in a library-but not my local one as they are all really miserable and unhelpful there! I wouldn't be like that if I worked in one! An old fashioned fifties library where they really used cards like this!
remember me? Hehe, trying to catch up with all my bloggy mates and wotnot. I love September cos the day you posted this, I blew out *several* candles on my birthday cake
Finally tried out the library card. How lovely. I could be doing it all day over and over and look at the different results. How did you come across this site? I was today just looking in to Helga cameras, then, Diana, the Rollei the new 50 mm lens then that took me to a friends blog that took me to phoographer's collective site, on and on and on so at the end of 3 hours i have got nothing done, nothing bought and the bed is still unmade. : ) x
Anna tsk tsk** unmade beds will never make themselves... I can't even remember where I found it but I think it was on "meet me at Mikes" another blog. There is so much to look at everywhere and easy to get overloaded on it all. I have been trying to have a break from it... you know? walk away from the computer! {*}
I am a book artist living in the UK. This blog is a peek at my creative endeavours, my travel diaries, life and work at home which is a little house snuggled behind a huge hedge on a suburban street in a market town in England.

I am, of course, always only an email away to ask questions, permissions etc and I might look and sound like a grumpy cow most of the time but I'm not, it's just that my face is sagging.
