The amazing Mr.Tierney

I fisrt found this...because one needs to talk as much as they need to be silent.
Sweet, magical, dream world.
Amazing illustrations, a gem for a gem for every library


These colours, these letters, the lemonade...all make me happy! Thank you, Mr.Tierney!

Hi summer

You may read the post's title both ways: "Hi, it's summer!" and "High Summer". Couldn't make up my mind :))
Hi, I hope you are still there. Very happy if you are. So I am rested. I spent every free moment reading. I read a wonderful novel, that had me stay up till the early hours with a couple of hours of sleep. I shopped my bookshelves for books I didn't know I had. I chased daydreams.And I have some great ideas, focusing on Greek design...So stay tuned.

p.s. Does anyone know how I can move that badge to a more descreet place? I do want to give credit for the festive summery flags that grace the blog's background, but not on my post header!..Thank you!

love, Irene
