Bookish things

 in Books, Happy Stuff, Pinterest.com • 0 Comments

When I’m not writing or researching my family history, I’m often on Pinterest looking for things that inspire me. Old books do that quite well, and I often find myself daydreaming about their contents, especially if they are journals or diaries. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

 

Fairy Land Book and string tops of old books Stepping Heaven Stack of old books Shakespeare and more Old journal TheMoonstone My escape Maybe a diary Horizontal books Leather bound books End table books Old deteriorating books Books with paper covers Books tied with string Books tied with ribbon Classic books Books and Silver Books and roses Books and coffee cup Books and a tea cup Books near a Window Bibles

I’ve never done something like that, so I was feeling rather Nancy Drew-ish. Thanks to my raging insomnia, I had the opportunity to do a little searching…

Finnish Dreams

 in Books, Braha, Family • 0 Comments

When I was growing up, one of my favorite friends was a Finnish girl named Leena (pronounced Lay-neh). Actually she was half German, but that side of her family might as well have been non-existent because that family lived and breathed Finland.
