Another Bookish Valentine's Day IDEA



Over at Daily Mayo, you will find they have created a printable containing romantic lunch notes that you can print off and either chose your favorite to use once or put a random romantic lunch note into nine different days of lunches.  Check out their post and see if you want to use them in other ways. Daily Mayo suggests the following options:

Sticking a note to the mirror
Slipping a note into the car visor
Placing a note inside luggage
Adding a note to coat pockets
Laying a note on a loved one's pillow

We're Back! Cozy Up with a Good Book!



Sorry we have been away from our beloved blog for a few weeks.  A month long hospitalization placed us in the out of commission column.  We are in recovery mode now and have a new son to show for it. Harrison Harper joined our family and now it's back to work...

Here is our latest book related find that we can't wait to try out, and we'd like to thank Out of Print for making us aware of this fantastic idea.  What do you do with all those book related tees when they are out of commission?  Make a cozy quilt to wrap up in while reading.  You don't sew, so how will you do this?  Well, create your very own cozy quilt to read under by sending those discarded tees off to Project REPAT. Take a peek and see what you think of this idea.

Is this something you'd be interested in?  Let us know here at The Things You Can Read.

Happy reading to all! ☮

To Kill a Mockingbird: Not Just A Book


To Kill a Mockingbird
NECKLACE



To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was instantly successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on the author's observations of her family and neighbors, as well as on an event that occurred near her hometown in 1936, when she was 10 years old-Wikipedia
Annette Blazon


I created this Necklace with a vintage image of the book cover from "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, an image of Harper Lee, a vintage typewriter with a line (It's a Sin to Kill a Mockingbird) from the book on it's paper, a wood replica typewriter key and silver tone metal charms. The first picture is the front of the charms and the second picture shows the backs. The charms dangle from a 22" silver plated textured metal link chain-Designs By Annette
 
 

Annette Blazon is wonderful to deal with and she does custom orders, so if you have a favorite book and would like to accessorize your wardrobe with some book bling just contact her and she will work to take your book from cover to necklace.  The necklace pictured is my custom order of her To Kill a Mockingbird necklace.  I can't wait to wear my new book bling to school and see who notices.  Oh, and by the way she designs earrings as well. 
What do you think of my new Book Bling.  Let me know here at The Things You Can Read.  I'm already thinking about what my next necklace will be.  Maybe Atlas Shrugged!  Don't forget to checkout Annette Blazon's Etsy shop-Designs By Annette
Happy reading to all! ☮
