After looking at a few posts this morning, I was informed that it was World Book Day. Now, because of my busy days I am not a big reader but I do read at night. Right now I am reading a book that I picked up from a 'free book' box at the pub where the retired guy and I go for fish and chips and a Guinness. It's called The Woman Next Door by Barbara Delinsky. It's ok...nothing to write home about.
I loved
Beatrix Potter books as a child and that love of little dressed up characters never left me.
. I recently found some books in a consignment shop (very cheap) and I will be passing them down to grand-children some day. They are little treasures as her work was such a gift.
I found this wooden box last summer and the label, as messed up as it is, caught my eye.
My maiden name was on it and I had to have it. Now I have no idea what to do with it. It has been sitting by the wood-stove holding wood, used as a center-piece at Christmas, filled to the brim with cat-toys and now
Audrey seems to think it makes a fine little cat-bed. I'm not sure what to do with the label but I do have to secure what's left of it before she eats it.
It's a dark, dull but mild day here today. I'll take that. Its good for dog-walking and I am thinking seriously about ditching the heavy winter coat. Tomorrow calls for even milder weather.
I do believe Spring is anxious to appear.
hugs. Deb
