All you artists out there, and fellow lovers of things old and beautiful, have to check out Old Book Art.

…I’ve been transforming my youngest into Little Red Riding Hood for the upcoming holiday,

taking a field trip to the local CSA farm,

inadvertently feeding the local wildlife (the deer are wild; the guinea fowl and kitty are not),

sewing up projects for the school’s craft fair,

adding children of the canine sort to our family,

playing in the hay,

and, of course, riding the railway at our local pumpkin farm.

Tevis will be checking in soon!
