What a beautiful post...put together...Hi Christine,<br />What a beautiful post...put together with such care and artistry...it is clear to see that your love of books has influenced your creativity.<br />I too love the old countryside and gardening books (I do believe that there is a 'Dog Daisy' meadow on the way to Bournemouth from here...so stunning, it even captured my 18 year old's heart when she first left home to go to uni there!)<br /><br />If you are on the lookout for more books to add to your collection, if ever you are passing, you could try 'The Book Barn' at Farington Gurney...Its a bit hit and miss, but there is the chance of a gem, and with all books at just £1 its worth a look! <br /><br />I ADORE your handmade books...I so wish I could get to London for the fair...<br /><br />At a time when the government are looking to close local libraries, your gorgeous post has come along at the right time.<br />I loved it - Thank you Christine, <br />Have a great week,<br />Niki xNiki Fretwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453900065526512512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250475646533438183.post-74662067906714469742011-02-01T14:01:09.098-08:002011-02-01T14:01:09.098-08:00Dear Christine

I love colour, but the wood engravings are truly amazing.
