We have visited Great Barrington and Stockbridge often, while staying with friends down the road in South Eggremont, where they have a sweet little antique shop. While shopping at the used bookstore in Great Barrington, I found an old copy of Le Petite Larousse and bought it for one dollar for my friend, who is a Francophile. Turns out it was HIS book that he no longer wanted. What a riot! So, oh horrors, I've been using it to create collages. Yes, I do cut up old books.mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818266600526286808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-84897200498896366792009-12-18T16:27:24.445-05:002009-12-18T16:27:24.445-05:00It sounds like you had a lovely weekend and got to...It sounds like you had a lovely weekend and got to visit some awesome stops!

The candy castle brings me back to my childhood when I got such pleasure from edible domiciles: gingerbread houses, and all.<br /><br />Lucky for you to have the Margaret Atwood treats! The Robber Bride, and Cat's Eye, are two of my favorite works of hers. I'm a little worried about her latest book, which I've purchased, in that it seems to resemble Oryx and Crake. In a word?
