A Cobwebby poem

Cobwebs can be magical things. The glittery strands you can see an early morning often seem to be out of this world...like as if maybe faeries really do exist.

Sometimes you find old treasures hidden in old, dusty shops - this little book with nature poems for children truly is more than it looks ♥

My library contains more than books

Amongst the books residing in the shelves of my library you can find a great many other things. If I like something, it will fit in here somewhere - that is the greatness of a room full of rare, strange or funny items. My library is a testimony to my somewhat eclectic taste - a sanctuary for all the weird things I have collected over the years.

Some items, like this puzzle, are perhaps not so eccentric, although very pretty in itself. 

A puzzle with the most vibrant colours!

A surprise!

Today, the 4th of November, I could actually go outside and cut another couple of roses from my garden. This is a novelty. Normally, sitting by the kitchen window at this time of the year, the garden flowers are pretty much gone and there are only some vague reflections of the glorious summer colours left.

A quote that appears almost too true

Sometimes I find interesting quotes or tidbits in the beginnings of my e-books. This is a quote by Dante that I had to share with you:

"In that book which is my memory,

 On the first page of the chapter

 That is the day when I first met you,

 Appear the words, 

'Here begins a new life'." 

― Dante Alighieri, Vita Nuova

Oh dear...I am getting short on space in my shelves!

Another browsing on another travel led to this collection...

A sunny day

Pretty colours make any day bright...

...and my diary is always close by.

Breakfast time...at another airport.

I'll admit this is cheating, but oh, so nice!
