Time for a Read? #Etsy

I realised that I hadn`t yet done a treasury for the featured shop of the week so decided to do one yesterday afternoon. Then I thought `Why not put it on here?` So I have.
The featured shop this week in the Crafty Folk team is Loutul and the owner is Louise.
She says in her bio that although she works 5 days a week as a business analyst she is an avid crafter. Especially loving embroidery, pewter embossing and also scrapbooking. Louise says she doesn`t get as much time for crafting as she would like.
Her shop is filled with amazing creations that are so different and beautiful. All would be wonderful to own or would make a very special gift.
Louise clearly loves creating as it shines through in every single piece. Do have a look through her wonderful shop it`s well worth it, as are all the other lovely shops.
Yesterday was a Bank Holiday and although it started off well here with blue sky and sunshine it very soon reverted to type. Cloudy, much cooler and rain off and on.
I did some food shopping and a pile of ironing, which these days is quite a rarity. Usually my grandson does it to earn extra pocket money. Sadly there were quite a few things that I needed to do myself but I did leave quite a few for him. Then it was catch up time online.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!
Do you like to read?
I must say it seems to breed
contentment, enjoyment and calm.
Reading really is a balm,
whether for learning or pleasure
it brings a large measure
of serenity and delight
whether reading day or night.
There`s something special about a book,
a good cover needs a second look.
The contents a big adventure
as you begin and venture
through the pages into the story
unravelling the tale in all it`s glory.
The feel of the paper, words on the page
giving one the look of a sage.
A good book will hold you in thrall,
time passes in no time at all.
It makes the imagination soar
which is really what it is for!!

  1. Great blog Linda all about reading.

    Some lovely things. I have always loved reading since being a little girl. Even better now because I have an eReader (not a Kindle, a Sony). All my books stay nice and pristine on the bookshelves and I don't hurt my wrists any more holding heavy books.

  3. great theme with some brilliant finds :)
    I'd love a Kindle, but I'd probably spend a fortune on ebooks and at the moment I get all my books from the library.

  4. Thank you all for commenting, glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy reading too, I have a Kindle now and love it. As you say Shirley they are so much lighter. I love that you can take a whole load of books away with you in one small package. Still love actual books though.
    It is too easy to get new books Pam. I downloaded a whole load just for the fun of seeing them appear so quickly when I first had mine.
