Tag Tuesday ~ Books

This weeks Tag Tuesday theme is Books

So I made a bookmark Tag.

This tag was cut from a lovely birthday card I was given last year.

It's so pretty as is,  double sided,

the front has gold highlights

This is the back

I didn't need to do anything else to it, so I concentrated on the tie .....

 with yarns, threads and ribbons in complimenting colours.

I threaded on some handmade focal beads to give added weight for use as a bookmark,

its now being put to good use :)

On the subject of books

For Christmas my Son David bought me 2 books from my wish list ...

The Wonderful Weekend Book

I'm already halfway through this lovely book by the late Elspeth Thompson and I can tell it will be a favourite here and I'm not the only one picking it up and browsing through the chapters :)

It's about enjoying time, appreciating the simple things and taking time to smell the roses...... it is sad that Elspeth is no longer with us, her blog is a lovely source of inspiration and I still visit and read it.

I do intend to try every one of the recipes which she has put in the book. they all sound so delicious.

He also bought me

 Tommy's War

I haven't started it yet, but looking forward to it.

Went to the boot sale on Sunday.

I  lucked in with a big bag of Music manuscripts & books.

 I have been looking out for some sheet music for a while to use for a couple of projects. However, after closer inspection, some of them seemed to be quite old so I have been researching each one thoroughly before using in my art. I wouldn't want to cut up anything of great value.

There is even a hand written one!

Thanks for stopping by
