Picture This, A Day In December / Picture This, Freezing Cold Weather

September 20, 2007 by Betsy Bird Leave a Comment

Pictures are difficult to blog on this SLJ site. They convince the format that I’m using more characters than I am. So I’m just going to do an all-picture, all the time posting.

Ooo, lookie!. Paper dodo.

Ooo. Ooo, I love you Paper dodo. I love you, I do. Thank you bookshelves of doom (who also linked to The Guardian‘s summary of top 10 kickass heroines recently, so check it out).

SCROLL TO KEEP READING THIS POST

Speaking of paper used in strange and unsettling ways, look at this somewhat amazing and mostly fascinating pop-up book lamp (via Boing Boing).

Mmm. And what should one wear while admiring your paper dodo and reading beneath your book lamp? Why The Longstockings had the answer recently with this library print doll dress.

Can anyone spot me a cool $225? I’m good for it?

Aw, forget it. I’ll just sip my cocoa as I read out of my Twits mug instead.

Twits not really your style? Well there are plenty of other Dahl-inspired mugs for the choosing. Thanks to BB-Blog for the link!

And finally, when I have all these items and am bundled snug in my cozy little world, I’ll think about rolling bees in powdered sugar, and everything will be right as rain. Thanks to Neil Gaiman for that last one. It is weird, but it makes me happy.
