Would you like a cup of tea?

Tea, travels and cats - this movie kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland!

A scene from "The Cat Returns"

Between

Somewhere between

asleep and

awake

between

years ago and

forever

between

my

memories and my

dreams

I miss you

The Butterfly Ball

...and the Grasshopper's Feast

Alluring colours and shapes!

This is a children's book that is all about rhyme. It tells the story of different insects and critters with curious names that gathers for a ball. They are all quite dressed up in their finest - and whether it is elegant, pretty or scary, they all have a role to play.

This might come across as a girl's book, but rest assured - there are quite a few of these mysterious creatures that are just as fitting for a little boy. The rhymes are witty and rolls off the tongue with ease. You might even say they are marching away of their own accord!

You want an invitation?

Here you go!
"The pleasure of your company is requested"

The teaser I am giving you today comes from the first page:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"As night turns to dimness and draws back its curtain, 

Stars, those bright sequins, now all disappear,           

As dimness grows radiant, dawn makes it certain      

That butterfly weather, quite perfect, is here;"               

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Look at Mr. Grasshopper with his top hat and cane - dashing, indeed!

If you want to know the rest of the story - and how the party goes - run and get a copy for yourself. This book, written by Alan Aldridge and William Plomer, is a peculiar and most wonderful addition to your collection!


More teasers?

Should Be Reading

Yep, I know I have done just that... What about you?

(...and I believe my boyfriend may just possibly have some issues with the results of this inner dialogue from time to time as well...hehe..)

The most intriguing purse, yes?!

This shop is amazing - I NEED to get one (or more) of these purses!

Have you ever seen a better-looking purse? If you have, do tell me where.

The Black Widow Shop

Or perhaps this one? Love the colour!

How to forget..?

Today is not my best day.

It is funny how some days just do not turn out so well. Some days you just remember all the bad things - however old, however small or insignificant. Nothing hurts quite the same way as an old wound never truly healed does. A story half-forgotten, a friend lost in the haphazardness of life - perhaps that of a certain date when something went wrong. A year might turn just to remind you of it all once again. Sometimes the break of day is cruel.

How does one escape from such memories?

Apparently time helps. And in its own way I guess it does. Things grow out of distance, out of memory range. New memories are made - a lot of good ones, too.

Yesterday is gone by. There is nothing you can do about that. Today is but a fleeting presence.

Tomorrow, on the other hand.

Tomorrow grants you a promise - the promise of hope, of possible greatness. Tomorrow may be a good day. It may change your life for the better. It may see you embark on your most important journey yet.

I choose to believe that things will always get better. That I can mold tomorrow into everything I want. Take advantage of and cherish those tiny sparks of happiness wherever I may find them.

I hope you have happiness in your life tomorrow.

A bookstore to remember ❤

Let me take you to this tiny bookstore in North Shields, Newcastle. If you are in the area, it is definitely worth stopping by. Remember those amazing books I found when I last crossed "the pond" to England? Well, most of them were found here, in The Keel Row Bookshop. The most amazing place! I cannot wait to visit it again. I even left a list over books I would like to buy if they ever crossed the threshold into the store.

Do visit if you can. They will be most accommodating to you and do their very best to help you.

A most wonderful place!

Stairs...

One very happy girl...

...happily browsing for hours...
