Oh, you pretty things
And yet another week has gone by. Why can't I seem to post more frequently? I'm such a procrastinator. I'm very excited! Tomorrow is the Open Air Book Fair down on Prince St. Once every year the Housing Works Bookstore has this MASSIVE book sale where everything is a dollar. And I do mean everything. I bought this huge old french dictionary...
Sorry about the bad photo. But I took it last year. They also bring up these big trucks loaded with boxes and boxes of old clothes and you buy a big paper shopping bag for $20 and just load it up. I found a ton of different silk scarves and a bunch of great men's ties too. All for the fabric of course. Fun stuff!
I actually wound up using one of the pages of the french dictionary for this butterfly.The cover of the dictionary is really neat too. I wish I could think of something to do with it as well.
So other than the book fair I'm sure I'll just hang out at home and HOPEFULLY finish my rug. Almost there!!
Oh and if you need a good movie suggestion for the weekend:
It is extremely well done! The soundtrack is equally amazing. They did such a wonderful job of working the songs into the story. We bought the soundtrack immediately after seeing the movie. Lovely.

oh, I could never cut up an old book! I love the sense of nostalgia old books hold. We have 5 bookcase complete full, and we'll probably buy more in future. Both my husband and I are total book lovers.
wish you could have been at that booksale then. you would have went NUTS! old books definitely have a wonderful look about them. if it makes you feel any better, this one was falling apart, lol. it didn't even have a spine.
