Persephone and a Few Favorite Things

i need to talk about persephone books.

i've mentioned them before..

but that was before i started reading them.

i'm completely obsessed and want to 

collect all 100 persephone books.

i recently finished 

Cheerful Weather for the Wedding.

it is a quick and wonderful read.

i'm now reading 

Someone at a Distance

by Dorothy Whipple

and this one is a page turner as well.

most of the persephone books are 

wrapped in a soft gray cover.

however, the ten persephone classics

(which are sold in the us)

have beautiful covers that are

works of art.

here is the link.

you can receive their catalogue

and biannual magazine for free!

what is on your bedside table?

mine is loaded down with 

books i'm reading 

and waiting to read..

jewelry,

little boxes and child made heart dishes

that hold rings and pins.

my grandmothers hand mirror..

and my other grandmothers tea cup.

hand cream, candle and journal.

and of course a cup of tea.

and hanging above my table..

some of hannah's artwork.

my new tea cup 

and earl grey tea bought in london..

are a few of my favorite things right now.

another favorite thing.

reading books in bed

and eating popcorn

with this little guy

on a cold and dreary paris afternoon.
