tree headed girl
Did you ever watch Reading Rainbow? I have a six year old son, so I see it quite often. Right now I feel like one of those kids at the end of the show, recommending a book to you - the viewers. I just read Under the Cherry Blossom Tree: An Old Japanese Tale illustrated by Allen Say. I loved the images that Mr. Say drew for this story, and it inspired me to create these little girls with trees sprouting from their heads. The second one’s in my shop now, and the first one (with my yellow coat!) will probably go in tomorrow. I love the little birdie making it’s nest in the branches.
It snowed today! Only for about 20 minutes, but for that short time there was beautiful white flurries falling all around me. How I love snow. I wish it would snow more so I would get snowed in and have no choice but to cozy up in my house and drink hot chocolate and hot toddies all day. Yay, snow! Which reminds me of another children’s book I love called Snow by Uri Shulevitz. How I love kid’s books too!
Today was a hard day in the book store. Even though it was very calm compared to the past week, the anxiety level is still very high. I can’t seem to have fun at work anymore. Woe is the day we moved into the mall.
Hugs and chocolate truffles…. xoxo
