pretty books.

these new embroidered book covers by jillian tamaki have been all the rage in the blogosphere but i wonder if maybe some of you haven't seen them. they're so pretty--so very pretty--i can't not share them with you; it would be unkind and simply impossible. -wink- and just for you, they're shown in order of my favourite design.

what do you think? do you like the embroidered designs by jillian tamaki or do you prefer the vintage-inspired style of book cover by coralie bickford-smith?

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
