Sketch then Sketch 9 Aug 2013 | 02:02 am
Hello there! I know things are sleepy around these parts and all my dispatches are just little bits of process and/or odds and ends. But I am working so hard behind the scenes (much of it semi-secret...
Fox & Hare 27 Jul 2013 | 02:25 am
My all-time favorite tote bags, the Fox & Hare, are one sale for a mere $10.00 each today. I don't know how long the sale will last, but I used it as an excuse to buy some back-ups! It's no exaggerati...
Studio Move-around 19 Jul 2013 | 02:58 am

Miette has been spending most of his time lately honing his sunbeam-spotting skills, a classic cat move. I wish my Summer was going to be measured in sun-dappled naps, but it'll be better if it's mea...
BEA, Belatedly 20 Jun 2013 | 04:16 am
(Photo of me & my wayward hairpin swiped from the BEA recap on the RH Buzzers blog) I forgot to ever post about this! A few weeks back, I traveled to NY for Book Expo America festivities with my publi...
More Old, Dusty Small Person's Books 17 Jun 2013 | 02:15 am
A good little stack I brought home from the Rose City Book Fair this weekend. My favorite old book dealer was there, and he had a beautiful copy of The Sea Fairies (I'd been wishing for one for a whil...
