I was planning to get them at the library, but theirs were all the hardbound copies which I find difficult to hold. So while The Man & I were out & about today, we stopped at a Used Book Store & I was able to purchase 4 of the series -- the first 2 & 4 & 5. The shop owner said they are kind of hard to come by, so now I will be on the search. I'm so excited! Have you read any of the buzz on FB or anywhere else, about a possible movie(s). It's so fun to read who everyone would want to play the main characters. Anyway, have to finish some chores so I can go read....lol!<br>CASCAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-3632446106343814262012-02-24T16:26:58.420-06:002012-02-24T16:26:58.420-06:00Ricki Jill, these are beautiful Hard to believe th...Ricki Jill, these are beautiful Hard to believe they are so tiny.

You will love them when they are framed.<br><br>I have read two interesting books about Hawaii by Alan Brennert. They are not new, so maybe you have already reviewed them. One is named "Molokai" and tells the story of the leper colony through the eyes of a 7 year old girl who is taken away from her parents and sent there. The other is called "Honolulu" and is the story of a young girl from Korea who becomes a "picture bride" to a man in Hawaii. Both are excellent and reveal a lot of Hawaiian history. Now, I am readying "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer. I saw the movie and was impressed with it and the book is even better.Carol Schiff Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992811279109092289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-6634098676815360362012-02-24T09:07:15.989-06:002012-02-24T09:07:15.989-06:00I've always loved drawing and painting on a ve...I've always loved drawing and painting on a very small scale, too.Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608220774640074166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-60812382117709088292012-02-24T08:55:05.084-06:002012-02-24T08:55:05.084-06:00I love the one with the little pitcher.

I will be posting photos of some of my recent fiber art projects, as well as the art journal that I am working on, so I hope you will stop by to take a peek when you have a minute.
