You other readers can't deny....
I love the library books sales for finding rare books for ridiculously low prices and it supports my community. Over the years I've found books on Hydropathy (eating a water based diet in the 1800s) Correct Social Usage (an Edwardian era guide to proper manners in high society), and a text book on anatomy from the 1850s. And while a lot of the information seems old fashioned or even laughable, they're all fascinating reads with beautiful covers and illustrations. Not only do they look great on my shelves, they're little pieces of history that would otherwise be forgotten.
I decided it was time to pull my handmade library skirt off the shelf for another wear. It was a hit at my local library. At first glance, I want to pair this fabric with browns, oranges, or burgundy, so as a departure, I went with this lovely teal and I love the effect. That's my favorite thing about prints with lots of colors, you can wear them so many ways and it always looks new and different.
