Here be pirates…

People searching for a pirate treasure map seem to be one of the most frequent hits on my blog. Now, I’m not entirely sure what amoral baddies that steal goods from others have to do with a blog about lawyers and the law but…oh. Right.

Anyway, I thought I’d oblige, and share a pirate treasure map that I made on here. It’s got a sea monster, octopus, whirlpool, pirate ship, mountains, a volcano, and all sorts of terrain on the island.

It also has an X marking the spot…can you find it?

The book…stuff

This is the post of oddments, strange bits, and things that I accidentally missed from the other posts, and expands slightly beyond “books” into “books and library ‘hings”. I think it’s best that I don’t even try to explain some of these….

Kusudama flowers are pretty, easy to make, and look kinda funky when made from old book pages:

They’re also nice in a bunch:

And every library needs its own bookworm:

That’s it, folks! I hope you’ve enjoyed my Etsy goodies posts, and maybe been inspired to pick up some nice things. I’ll try and put some more together before Christmas again…and always remember…
LOVE [the] BOOK
