For the love of linen

It's no secret. I love linen.

I will openly admit it.

*I love the way it starts out crisp and beautiful and softens and wrinkles right away.
*I love the texture and that you can see the grain of the threads.
*I love the beautiful colors it comes in.

So, how much do you think I love these little beauties?

A LOT!!!!

DELICIOUS!!!! (And yes, I'm singing that in my best operatic voice.)

Be still my linen aching heart!

I just found these little beauties here.

Check out the descriptions for each apron. Love it.

Makes me want one even more. (Is that possible?)

Another family favorite...

Another one of our family favorites from the library is this movie.

The RED BALLOON

We love it!

It is in French and there isn't much dialogue. (There are subtitles.) There is a lot of silence.

I checked it out once because I really like it and wanted my kids to see it. I wasn't sure what they would think.

To my surprise, they really liked it.

They have asked for it a few times.

Do you have any family favorites that you have stumbled onto?

A very sweet book

Do you ever happen onto things at the library that end up being so fantastic?!

It happens to us a lot.

Most of our favorite things from the library are things we just happen to find and are not things we intentionally look for. There are so many things to choose from that sometimes I don't even know what to search for. So, instead we go into "browse" mode.

My how I love browse mode.

One of my favorite places to browse is in the "HOLDS" section. Our library is so well-used that some of the best things rarely make it to the main shelves. So, I always browse to get ideas of things to read or watch.

This book however, we found just on the shelf during our usual "browsing."
We are currently reading this at night before bed. It is really sweet and of course, we have to talk in our best Scottish accent.

It is called "Hanne's Quest."

Do you have any favorite recent finds at the library?

Quick Update

My laptop died.

Boo.

I am working on figuring out a new plan for downloading and storing pictures -- my desktop is slow and slightly annoying.

I will be back in full force soon.

Photos to come.

Look out.
