Two Weeks from today... reminder

Book chat 

Saturday, February 26

Hope to "see" you there!

Bulb bumps progressing

Slaying dragons beyond the blog, but am here to remind you that I will draw names for the free copy of "The Secret of Chanel No. 5" tomorrow.  Late tomorrow.  Go comment on Saturday's post if you are interested.

Posting a picture of the hyacinth bulb progress.  Am continuing to turn a blind ear (yes, blind ear) to yearnings for spring.  Winter has what it has.

I love the way the roots know to reach out for water that is just beyond.  Soon enough, they'll have engulfed the marbles, and I'll have detangling to do when all is said and done.  Things change.

My Michigan!

Had to provide a link to a particular post in a rather interesting blog I found, which looks at books as interesting objects:

The link I provide will send you directly to a book featured in the "Handmade" category, and is by Gwen Frostic.  If you are from Michigan, and/or spent time in NW Michigan near Sleeping Bear Dunes, there's a good chance you've visited Gwen Frostic's studio or at least are familiar with her wood block prints.  I have been fascinated by that place since the owner of a cabin I rented recommended it as a place to visit, and of course emotionally connect it to a favorite corner of the universe.  

For a long time, Gwen's work was seen as "quaint."  Now it's cool.  I think that's keen.
