My boyfriend upon seeing hour 1 of the library sale haul announced he’s not building me a new bookcase.
Of course not. He’s just going to pass me books after I build it. 🤭 #booksky

After a stressful week of keeping Kitty Chaos inside, they got the bribe of wet cat food to calm them down. I tried feeding them separately but Midnight only eats from Daisuke’s plate. 😅

You know I’m in editing mode when both computer mice are on and next to each other. Yes, this also happens during D&D streams. 😁

If my boyfriend were here at the book sale, he’d be doing a huge comedy bit of “I’m not building you a house for your collections.”

You would love Bridges. Lots of practical items for the home with lots of clothing racks and books. Due to the building's small size, the manager frequently offers sales on clothes or the entire store. This is the one picture I could take without showing a bunch of people at the clothing racks.

Do I need 2 computers with 3 screens between them to edit one video?
Probably not, but I think another screen wouldn't hurt. 😅

I finished my work table for photographing books for the shop, and I am in love with how antique/vintage the tabletop looks now after 2 coats of red oak stain. It's complementing the vintage books so well. I can't wait to film book hauls and crafty videos now.

Not up more than five minutes and the new bookcase is already full. 🤣

Gotta give @rolecraft.bsky.social and Cawood Publishing a shoutout for one of the monsters I’m using during today’s oneshot at @analogandarcane.bsky.social. Rolecraft gave me this book years ago and now I get to use it during a stream. 🤩

These are the books they haven’t gone through yet for pricing so hopefully there will be another antique gem next week.
