I've got friends in high places...
like Etsy:-)
I happen to be a lover of all things bookish.
Old books... even cooler.
I can't quite match Andrea, the owner of sorrythankyou79 though.
Her passion for books led her to opening an Etsy store and sharing all her fun finds with us.
An even cooler thing is when Fossil hit her up for hundreds of books for their Spring Catalog!

I LOVE these shots and as darling as the little girl is, the books sell these poses!

The way the light is filtering through...
Makes me think of summer days, ice cream trucks, jelly beans and rainbow bright dolls.
Those are my happy thoughts okay.
Don't you be crack'n on them.
Why?
Because it's cool.
Blue books. White suitcase. Old camera.
Cool.

Hmmm, what would I choose? I really liked the red books instant library. I also liked how to live in California. (I should have that figured out by now) Another one that could apply to most So Californians, was sportsmanlike driving.
A happy comment? Well your blog usually gets a chuckle out of me and makes me smile. Also, the news that my nephew and his wife are expecting twins makes me happy.
