Goodnight. Three Women and Three Wolves, Grasset, 1892. #Gothtober

Because I need to be reminded of how this book, Wild Folk, (which is still fighting to survive) was worth making.

Timeline Cleanser. Unclench your jaw. Stretch your neck. Go get some fresh air.

Saw a working cannon on a lawn sale today and can’t be convinced I don’t need it.

So honored and grateful to have my book collection, and more importantly, my philosophy about rare books, featured on CPR news!

Went to Fort Ticonderoga 4th of July 250 th festival

Old belt buckles I made. The bottle opener one works great when you open a beer it’s pours all over your 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ #vtbeer #beltbuckle #anvil

John Steinbeck book @carriesavagevt.bsky.social found. “The story was gradually taking shape. Pilon liked it this way. It ruined a story to have it all come out quickly. The good story lay in half-told things which must be filled in out of the hearer's own experience.” ― John Steinbeck #booksky

Some unfortunate people only have grass on their lawns.

Prunus americana? Surrounded by flowering plums yesterday with their unique fragrance.

A Vermont classic 1842 out of print Thompsons Vt - worth buying if you can find a copy #booksky #vermont

Margaret Macdonald's gesso panel ‘The White Rose and the Red Rose’, 1902 (detail) #WomensArt

Now I love her even more: ❤️🎹🎶 "She was having dreams about Schumann, the composer closest to her soul. ('There is something so spontaneous and so touching and so true about him,' she said.) She was seeing 'new colors, new dimensions' in music she had played hundreds of times."

Always loved Dorothy Parker since I was a kid, so cool to find a 1941 copy of her poems. #booksky #dorothyparker “Résumé Razors pain you, Rivers are damp, Acids stain you, And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful, Nooses give, Gas smells awful. You might as well live.” Dorothy Parker

‘Spring drew on...and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.’ ~ Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre. 🖼️ Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1864.

The Hellebore Dragon awakes and stretches her wings.

The fragrance from wild plum tree could be smelt a good 20 feet away. Full of bees and beautifully backlit by the midday sun.

Just found a first edition of Jack Kerouac’s Vanity of Duluoz… “...I realized either I was crazy or the world was crazy; and I picked on the world. And of course I was right.” ― Jack Kerouac, Vanity of Duluoz: An Adventurous Education, 1935-46 #booksky

Happy Worm Moon! If you listen closely you will be able to hear the were-worms howling. They are closer than you think... Seriously though, March's full moon is called the worm moon because earthworms start to appear as the ground begins to thaw. Very north northern hemisphere specific.

Good morning! I wasn't feeling well so I stayed home for the #eclipse. I did take a few photos out the window. #photography

How lucky I was to have been a little kid when Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow were around.

Are plants intelligent? Short question, hard answers. "A small but growing number of philosophers, physicists & developmental biologists say that there is something catastrophically wrong with the way we understand 'intelligence' itself.” Read on. www.noemamag.com/a-radical-ne...

Savage Books was our little piece of heaven. We loved hunting books throughout New England with our pups in tow. Feels right to be back hunting books again… #booksky

Until recently, I didn’t know pigeons fly so differently from other birds. It’s so impressive tho. They’re badasses aerodynamically speaking. I guess that’s why they were used as messengers. I had no idea! This is your invitation to share cool facts about pigeons.

I always plant anvils in the spring they can grow fast with a lot of water #anvil #blacksmith

“I would prefer not to.” Seems like a good mantra for our new age… #booksky

Hunting New Hampshire used book shops today , I found some big finds I’ll post later. #booksky
