'cause everything is never what it seems.

a few weeks ago, i spent a saturday evening hanging out with a very good friend in harrisburg, pennsylvania. we went to midtown scholar for coffee and to browse the shelves of used tomes. i searched through an entire wall of poetry shelves but found nothing from africa. which was sad.

far more enjoyable, however, was encountering another good friend, who just happened to be working at midtown. our conversation started with her informing me - quite emphatically - that i was now dating my boyfriend, a surprise that had absolutely delighted her when she was facebook stalking one or the other of us. the evening progressed: coffee, smuggling food into the theater, (2d) alice in wonderland, film criticism in the car. all good times.

at the end of the evening, liz gifted me with some old calendar pages she had found while cleaning the bookstore. use them, she told me, for some creative purpose. such a delightful charge.

so tonight, i did.

a few old calendar pages, a handful of glue sticks, some coloured paper. the result: a pile of eclectic and quirky postcards. such fun :)

















*note: should you appreciate such craft enough to desire such items yourself, i may consider selling some of them. interested? send me a message.
