It's funny weather today, all raining and windy, blustery, leaves flying all over, then all of a sudden sunny, clouds blown away and everything golden... It's inside out umbrella weather, and rain down your neck. Which is why I'm extra glad I can appreciate it from the cozy warmth of my armchair...
I've been having a nice break (despite a christmas cold, don't you love those!) and doing lots of thinking... (and eating, don't forget the eating) I got lots of lovely presents for Christmas, I'm sure I don't deserve them all...
3 round cornered books from 3 lovely friends...
First, a Moleskein with a difference...
An accordion moleskein! How perfect :) But I'm sure I will never dare write in it, it's too nice an object on it's own...
'Wayside and Woodland Trees' by Edward Step, published 1940. Beautiful illustrations... (and it smells nice too!)
And when I unwrapped 'A Field Guide to Weeds' by Kim Beck I thought it was a coincidence; another plant identification guide (and that wouldn't be a bad thing, trust me) but on turning the pages...
The weeds grow and spread with each turn of the page. Beautiful.
Hope your days have been relaxing too x

Oh I love your weed book that is beautiful, and I have never seen an accordion moleskein, how wonderful! Have a very happy new year.
Ohh I'd love to get my hands on an accordion moleskine (a small stationary shopping spree is soon in order. I will need a new diary.) I think that they would be great to draw in (pencil would be right). I love the last book, what a great idea.
happy new year dear sarah!
what a lovely collection of books. i am the same way with journals, just admiring them... one of my resolutions this year (as always) is to actually write in them :) xox
oh... such lovely books!
i've been wanting a reason to buy the accordian moleskine... but, it seems a little to precious for my every day use.
that tree book is amazing... those illustrations are so lovely... and that weed book! it's so beautiful!
