Cynthia! I was just thinking about you yesterday wondering how your summer's been. Gathering old books I've loved over time is one of my favorite ways to reminisce.
@@SparklingLotusInk I do the same thing! I have some of my Grandfather's gardening books and it makes me feel close to him when I read/look at them. He was a Landscape Architect and taught at Harvard and Rhode Island School of Design. He died when I was young but I did spend hours with him in his gardens as a child. Such wonderful memories and probably why I am a gardener today.
So many gorgeous books.. I love the Cat one.. they remind me of some of my old Enid Blyton story books.. I only have one book left from my childhood which is about ghosts and monsters 👻 The birds and butterflies are lovely books too.. 🦋🐦⬛😘
I've wanted to make this video for awhile, but needed time and space to have a treasure hunt throughout the house and my studio. It seemed like so much work but I actually had great fun assembling my selections. I don't think I had any ghosts and monsters books. But I remember an Alfred Hitchcock kid's anthology in my grammar school library, and a particular story about a curious child who became fixated on an unusual neighbor who turned out to be a werewolf. When they realized the child had been spying on them, they bit the kid, and kept him hidden in their house, howling for recognition of who they used to be. It frightened me for years.
loved this - had/have many of the guide books and children's books. Trip down memory lane.
