I bought this set of 9 Gene Stratton Porter books

I bought this set of 9 Gene Stratton Porter books on eBay, and they came today! 📚❤️

If you’ve never read anything by her, I highly recommend you start with A Girl of the Limberlost.

Gene Stratton Porter is from my home state of Indiana and wrote around the early 20th C. She was a best selling author of her time and even produced her own films. As a naturalist, she wrote both non-fiction and fiction, was an artist, and a self-taught photographer as well. She died tragically in a car accident when she was in her 60s.

My current read, and no I don’t read it with this oh so fragile cover on! 😱

I never even thought about reading Dracula before I bought this edition. Since it’s such a well known story, it just didn’t interest me. But it’s so wonderful! Everything from the characters to the epistolary style is amazing. Definitely recommend it! ❤️🧛‍♂️

Animals and books: my constant companions. 🧡

I’ve had a very fun and productive day today: a trip to the poultry show, a visit with my parents, late breakfast with the family, weed eating a few neglected areas of the property, & 1/2 of a tree transplant done!

Now to get some dinner out! Check my stories for sights and sounds from the poultry show! 🐓

This lovely book has all the autumn vibes and makes me want to smell soup bubbling and bread baking. Alas, it’s 80 degrees today, and I just heard the air conditioning turn on. 🙄

What’s your favorite fall food? 🥖

My daughter is newly vegetarian, so I’m still adjusting to finding dishes to satisfy both her and my meat eaters. I’ve been veg before so it’s not too big a problem. I just need some new ideas! Any suggestions?

The embroidery in this pic is still up for sale in my Etsy shop if you’re interested! 🍁

Did you start a collection because of something you inherited?

So now that I’m apparently ‘chicken lady’ , I’ve started to collect chicken decor.

My grandmother had a collection of chicken dishes, and I inherited the beautiful milk glass hen dish here from her.

Do you like organizing your shelves or do you dread it?

My shelves look pretty tidy in this pic, but I’m going to have rearrange them soon to fit more in. It’s going to take a lot of time which I don’t really have so I’ve been putting it off for months.

Hope you’re having a terrific weekend! ❤️

Anyone else guilty of buying books then not even opening them? 😬

I bought the gorgeous Le Morte d’Arthur in the center ages ago, but I had never removed it from the case before today. It was difficult to even get out! It’s by Racepoint Publishing. Check my stories to see more of it.

My kids don’t love to be read to like they used to (teenagers!), but my dogs seem to like it. 😊

This is the MinaLima edition of The Secret Garden. The illustrations and inclusions in these books are beautiful and such fun! Do you collect these?

Okay, so maybe I was a little harsh with my judgment of these in my last post. The brown is not too terrible on its own (I guess)😂. They will just have to live on their own shelf away from the others in the collection. 🙁

On the positive side, zoom in on the beautiful laser cuts of this Shakespeare! So gorgeous! 😍

I haven’t had a chance to take a pic of the new Autumn Thomas Nelson Seasons editions, but if you haven’t seen them yet think 70’s brown (or poopy yucky)…😬

They seriously do not coordinate at all with the other books in this series. You can see the Winter, Spring, and Summer editions in the left corner of this pic. I only bought ‘Autumn’ because I wanted to complete the set. The color scheme chosen is such a bummer, because the laser-cut designs are gorgeous.

Do you have these? What do you think?

Here are some pretty spines for #stacksaturday! 📚❤️

Any fun plans for today? Wish I could say that I had some, but instead I’m washing stinky litter boxes. 🐱🤢At least I’ve got dinner going already: Vegetarian Tikka Masala in the crockpot! 🧑‍🍳
