Relics; Antique Books

Searching through stacks of old books makes me feel like Indiana Jones.

She reads, I peruse the piles and find inspiration among the pages taking quick snaps of whimsical covers or funny titles.

I think this last one has given me the most inspiration. The dark navy blue with pink and gold. ..and the title, “Anything Can Happen.” I actually bought this book. For $5.99, I decided I couldn’t live without it.
