A coloring book of mythic detail.

Bring myths and monsters to life with your own flair! (Particularly great if you, say, happen to be stuck inside with limited mobility)

Finally I realized the nearly limitless crafting potential of such a fun book. Stickers everywhere! Add some gloss, and you've got extra details on your project that totally pop. When you're done with the stickers you can use the beautiful pages for origami. Or you can turn the entire book into a keepsake box. Let your imagination go as wild as some of these stickers.

I'm a plant lover, grower, and gardener, but I have never really thought of myself as a garden writing reader. Then Robin and Dale introduced me to the Victorian writings of Celia Thaxter. I was immediately struck with the calming and eloquent writing. Despite the time she was writing, her writing is lyrical and not flowery or weedy. A huge garden on a quiet island off the coast of Maine: my new mental retreat when I need some internal calm.
