Where Are You Now?

For those of you who are followers you are probably aware that these last two years have been beyond difficult for me. In fact since you last heard from me I became homeless. Being a stubborn lady I refused to give up my yarn OR my books. I stored them in the tree house I was living in. I recently managed to get back into a house and times are still very hard - but I have another blog that is connected to my Etsy store.

I will try to come back to you with more bookish gadgets and doo-dads but for those of you who are interested, while you wait, you can find me now posting on the new blog.

If I Can't Have it I'd Rather One of My Readers Did!

As much as I love this. I shop far too much:

BraceYourselves

After reading The Essential Anais Nin - I fell in love. I went to the library and got every book I could. Sadly, for the bibliophile - enough is never enough. So I searched the internet for some other goody and came across a blog featuring a picture of a resin bracelet meant in tribute to Anais Nin. It sold out late 2007 tho. Not one to be discouraged I contacted the maker and lo and behold - there is ONE LEFT that is not listed - and yes - I made it mine!

You too can find a resin bracelet made in homage to a book - this time not Anais Nin but Lolita.

LOLITA Bracelet

Description

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. by Vladimir Nabakov Beautifull bracelet made of high quality clear resin. Desin for this bracelet was inspired by Vladimir Nabakov book "lolita'. The bracelet is 2,45 inches (6.2 cm) wide on the inside My resin bracelets are hand made by myself from the very beginning when the project forms to the very end when I polish each ingredient separately.All this long process makes each of my work very unique and personal. Most of the bracelets have some decorative elements embedded inside, however some versions come in one, clear colour. These bracelets are very unique - they come in either one exceptional piece, or in the limited series of few. Because each bracelet is individually made by hand, there are no two exactly same pieces! One can be sure they would have a truly unique piece on their wrist!

I am so VERY VERY tempted to have two now ;)
