living with books

"All that manind has done, thought, gained or been:
it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books."
Thomas Carlyle














It's hard to imagine a life or home
without books.
Over the years we've collected a few...
some new, but most from tag sales,
flea markets, and library sales.
This week I was thrilled to find
book plates, by one of my favorite artists,
each with a beautiful moth specimen.
I know what I'll be doing this weekend...

Hope your weekend is a good one,
and if you have a favorite book to recommend
please do leave a comment :)
