Why do zippers have YKK on them? Hmmmm.......
I like witches so I would not use these gorgeous witch balls to disuade a visit. I have always had a thing for glass orbs-crystal balls, Christmas ornaments, floats-there's just something about them. They are beautiful pieces of art. More here.
Love, love, love this sign. This site has a lot of very nice signs.

I've been hearing about this Orange-Scented Olive Oil Cake for years, but have never made it, or for that matter, tasted it. I may have to break down and make it.
The Library of America has a boxed set of 6 of Lynd Wards novels that he did in woodcut. Incredible!! More information on Lynd Ward.

Have a nice weekend. I think a grilled cheddar and cherry preserves sandwich sounds like a nice treat this weekend. Munched on while I enjoy my book and a Fireside tart.

Hi there! I cam to your blog via the website 'Flashlight Worthy' as I was looking (perhaps in vain) for a dimly remembered children's picturebook of the 1980s which featured tiny mice pictured in very detailed urban settings; somewhat like the Brambly Hedge series, but the setting was urban. The mice would go to ballet classes and the like; I think the book/s were likely British. Does this ring a bell for you in terms of your "84-page bibliography" of mouse-protagonist books, perchance?? (I am so desperate to re-discover the name and author of this book or books!) Thanks so much for considering my query...
Hi Teejay,
You didn't leave a link where I could respond to your query, so I'll answer it here.
I think you might be thinking of the Angelina Ballerina books by Katherine Holabird and illustrator Helen Craig. Angelina and her friends are al mice, they attend ballet school and get into all sorts of mischief.
This is a very prolific series. There is also a delightful animated program Angelina Ballerian that airs on different networks. It's delightful as well. Dame Judi Dench voices the character of Miss Lilly, Angelina's ballet teacher.
I hope this helps.
As for the bibliography-it's up to 86 pages now. I haven't updated in awhile.

Hi L
Thank you so much for attempting to answer my query - much appreciated!
Unfortunately, I am showing my age as the book or books I'm thinking of much pre-date the Angelina Ballerina ones, and were much less of a 'cultural phenomenon' than the latter has proved to be!
My quest goes on...
Thanks again!

Hi Teejay,
I am going to try and solve this mystery. You have piqued my curiosity. When I find it (notice I said when) I'll post my answer here.

One place you may want to look is the Loganberry Books website. It's a used bookstore, but they have a huge feature on their site called Stump the Bookseller. It now costs $2.00 to submit a query, but you can troll through their archives. That's where I am going to start. This will also help with my bibliography to see if I have missed any mouse books. If you find what you are seeking please let me know.
