 Paper Info: 
 Oiseaux Vintage Bookplates are printed on thick (48 lb.) bright, high-quality paper with gorgeous, vivid inks for superior color and image reproduction. They come ready for the adhesive of your choice; we like to recommend acid-free glue sticks for our bookplates: they are inexpensive, easy-to-use, and safe with all papers. You can find acid-free glue sticks online and in most drug stores or supermarkets; some popular brands are Avery, OfficeWorks, Elmer's and Uhu; most cost about a dollar. Occasionally I get asked if I print on adhesive paper, but because the print quality on even the best adhesive papers pales in comparison to the paper I use, I stick with the very good stuff. What is a bookplate? A bookplate is a name label that goes inside of a book, notebook, or journal. The use of bookplates dates back to a time when books were rare and precious things; a bookplate was a way to leave your name inside of a treasure. Today, bookplates have enjoyed a comeback as a sweet way to celebrate a new baby. For children, bookplates inspire a love of reading and a pride in ownership. What's not to love? Our designs come from my collection of vintage books from the 1920's, most of which belonged to my grandparents. I remember many of the books from when I was a child, and I am so happy to bring these gorgeous illustrations to life again! Creating each design is often a lot of work: since old books are usually well-loved, there can be quite a bit of repairing to do. Each vintage illustration is carefully scanned, cleaned, and brightened up... then sometimes completely redesigned to fit a bookplate format. The end product is what you see in my shop: beautiful vintage designs, waiting for your books!

Women Running From Houses: 20 Epic Gothic Horror Book Covers

Meadow Field Nature Study Book Among the Meadow People by Clara Dillingham Peirson 1897 PDF Bedtime Story Download The Living Books Library Among the Meadow People introduces children to the wildlife of the field and meadow. Each chapter contains a story about a different meadow animal including butterflies, birds, caterpillars, snails, ants, spiders, beetles, crickets, worms, cicada, frogs, grasshoppers, mosquitos, and more. The stories discuss the animal's habits and movements. Since we can't understand animal language, the author depicts the animals talking to each other in English, but she does it so skillfully that you can imagine that they are using their own ways of communicating through voice and gesture. This book is sure to enhance any meadow or field animal nature study curriculum or serve you as an educational bedtime story companion. I should also mention the gentle moral lessons at the end of each chapter that opens the young reader to personal discussions. This ebook is a digitally remastered copy from the first edition of the publication. It has been preserved in its original typeface with original black and illustrations for your enjoyment. At The Living Books Library, you don't just own a book, you own a piece of history. 210 pages (approx.) with Original Black and White Illustrations Table of Contents 1.

Friends will surprise you with the most wonderful, thoughtful gifts. During a visit with Ina Torton, friend, massage therapist extraordinaire and real estate agent, she handed me a beautiful volume of Emily Dickinson poems. Gold lettering, white lilies with gold stems and a bee on a turquoise blue cloth cover. Beautiful, just beautiful. Having gone through her bookshelves, Ina came upon this volume of Emily's poems and gave it to me. What an appropriate gift as Ina knew that along with my friend, Barbara Dana, our Emily Dickinson show, “A Voice of Her Own” had just had its second reading here in New York City. In November 2011, “A Voice of Her Own” had its first reading for an invited audience. See my blog posting of February 24, 2012. My ending statement was that the show was a work in progress and indeed over the past year, we have worked hard as a team….Kate Bushman, Barbara Dana, Martin Hennessy, Amelia Campbell Arkin and me. Barbara revised the script numerous times, we read through the scripts after each revision, rehearsed songs, Martin wrote more and more wonderful incidental music that bound the show together. Kate, our director, made suggestions for the flow of the show and character development. Amelia joined our group to read the part of Emily so Barbara could be in the audience experiencing her own writing. On Sunday, December 9, 2012, “A Voice of Her Own” had its second reading in the exact same rehearsal room as in November 2011. The invited audience included people who had attended one year earlier. In 90 short, fast moving minutes, Emily Dickinson’s life came alive from Barbara’s passionate script. So filled with the depth of Emily’s convictions about her writing, her observations of life and others, the performance soared with Amelia’s deep understanding of the ardent poet. Dialogue flowed into song flowed into dialogue without interruption and the incidental music underscored emotional passages binding the story together. Touching the hearts of performers and audience members alike, Emily Dickinson was the star and the gift to all on that day. And, our show “A Voice of Her Own” continues to be a work in progress until our next reading in June 2013.
