bunny day

Happy Easter!
I hope you are having a lovely day with people you love and lots of lovely food (like I get too!)


Beautiful naturally dyed eggs have become my favourite part of easter. They are so pretty and easy to make! These ones were coloured with red cabbage and some mashed up blueberries.

my silent friends.



We have, in an attempted to change the phillistine lifestyle we have adopted at home, cut out TV. Well, since we only get 4 channels we have really just cut MTV because we didn't really watch the other three channels anyways. So Teen Moms and the Real World DC have been happily replaced with that old fashioned favourite pastime: books.

I don't know how I even managed to take such a long break from reading in the first place. All these book covers are books I want to read. Spines I want on my shelves. It is true that a book cannot be judged by its cover, but surely the cover is what should attract you to the text within. As someone who is predisposed to be judgemental, it has been a mystery to me that publishers seem only recently to have put together that the superior design of a books cover may allude to the quality of the content within.
Naturally, upon discovering The Book Cover Archive, my summer reading list is reaching a probably unreadable-over-summer number. All the books on this site look good.
