Abandon books are becoming my love of labor.  
If it is missing pages, old, has a loose binding, colored in, written in and not the quality
of a collector, it might end up in my hands.    I like to think I am the last stop before
the trash bin for old books.

Here are a few of my most recent works, and oh did I mention, they can be purchased at my
Etsy shop, and if you have a special book in mind, drop me an email and I can begin the hunt.

                                                     Wuthering Heights  (special order Gift)
                                                        Grimm's Fairy Tales
                                                 Sunday afternoon Carousel Ride

I never imagined that old books were so easy to acquire. 
I am trying to collect enough old tattered books to keep me
busy during vacation which is coming quickly.

In the meantime I have finished two new books, one from my favorite
all time writer, Shakespeare.  The book had fabulous illustrations and was
just old enough to cut. 
                                                       Shakespeare    Romeo and Juliet (Sold)

                                                                   Famous Fairytale
                                                                  Field Guide of Birds
