I think (finally) divorced Ashley might be the best iteration.

I needed these for my planner/agenda for the dreaded "shark week"

Not the tv shark week where Discovery does weird stuff (it used to be really good!).
Sticker sheets of a shark in sunglasses and the phrase "shark week." These stickers are meant for physical agendas.

I've been in a historical mystery kick, so I picked up Carola Dunn's first book in her 1920s English flapper series. It's quite nice.

Old tweet from Claudia that shows a white lamb with a halo surrounded by wolves. The text says "April fools day feels like this when you have a pure heart that's open to believing."

Starting this baby while I wait for my dinner to cook. I 100% bought it for this fabulous cover art! I've not read any Edwards before so I hope it's good!
#booksky #currentlyreading #mysterybook
A hardcopy book by Martin Edwards. The title is "Gallows Court." The book is green and features a 1930 era car with headlights lit. It's all very deco. The written blurb says: " 1930, London. An enigmatic heiress. A family secret and the thirst for justice.

I'm not 100% sure on my new wax seal because I don't think I do a great job of picking colors to make the font readable

#SnailMail #Penpalooza #PenPal #WaxSeal #LetterWriting
A wax seal on a white envelope. The seal is a mix of pink, green, and white wax. The lettering on the seal says "you got happy mail" and "handle with much love". The interior seal image also shows an envelope, fence, and flowers.

Someone (or multiple someones) keep reporting the art on my Pinterest board as 'pornography.' it's art from art history classes I took...so nothing of mine.

While very weird I'm still amused by it.

The latest art piece is this Adam and Eve piece (Cranach?) that seems to have angered them.
A painting of Adam and Eve eating the apple from the Christian religion. They are surrounded by animals in the garden of Eden (a lion at bottom left, a small bunny front center, a stag in the left background). Adam is on the left, Eve is on the right. A snake watches from the tree. Adam and Eve are nude except for a leaves covering their bottom bits. I think this is by a Lucas Cranach...just not sure if Elder or Younger.

This one! I picked it up from the cover alone. I'm only on Chapter three but I'm intrigued.
Cover of book: shows 1930s era car in the top left morning. The headlights of the car illuminate a person that is standing. The snippet of text in the lower right says:"1930, London. An enigmatic heiress. A family secret and the thirst for justice." The title is "Gallows Court" and the author is Martin Edwards.

Decided for a long tea break just for an excuse to read this humor-fantasy book I got a few months ago. 💙📚👀

It features a gnomic figure astride a gryphon that is rearing in front of large gates. In the upper part of the photo is a short-bread canister and a lazy tea set in the shape of a dragon.
