The Art of Sailing...

Putting the finishing touches on our Valentine's Day programming. This year it's a nautical theme with sailors valentines, scrimshaw pendants and love knots (a quick lesson on seamen knot tying with pink rope, of course). I have plenty of little octagon boxes just waiting to be turned into seashell covered valentines!

Balloon Bunny

Rediscovery of a wonderful old children's book, The Great Valentine's Day Balloon Race. The pictures are delightfully done and the story is just too perfect. Adams has written and illustrated two other books about this lovely little rabbit family and I want to crawl into the pages of all of them.
