11 books!

My visits to the library the past few weeks have me bringing home books everyday and I think I have overdone it! Time to bring some back...will do that tonight. In The Spirit of Folk Art : The Girard Collection at the Museum of International Folk Art, I found many Portuguese examples of course, among them pieces by Domingos Goncalves Lima, also known as Misterio from the city of Braga, Portugal. A gorgeous collection I hope to visit before going back home...

Emily

If you look closely she really does look like royalty with her long neck and crown and full skirt so meticulously decorated sitting on a purple throne. I feel joy when I see a Monarch butterfly. I have not seen them for so long.

...my grandmother. I asked her to help me fold some fabric scraps. She came back with this package. It is beautiful.
