Weekend Obsessions: Book Arts Edition



One thing you need to know about us is how obsessed we are with books. art. paper. and words. Craig and I recently counted over 575 books in our collection! So this weekend's obsessions are in honor of the printed word, and in celebration of the natural process of REUSE. Enjoy.
