years in the making

I live a long ways from any ocean. As such, amassing this small collection of driftwood has taken over 10 years. Driftwood, seas glass, beach rocks–they all hold the same allure for me: soft, rounded, weathered, and oh so pleasing.

On a different note, while I was in California on book tour last week with Steve*, I was recommended a book called The Light Eaters by Zoe Schlanger. I am only 10 pages in and I can already tell that I am going to love it! When I have already highlighted three paragraphs in the first 10 pages, I know I have a winner on my hands. Anyone else read it yet?

*P.S. Have any of you read Steve’s book? (A Season for That by Steve Hoffman). If so, are you willing to share what you thought?

    I read and loved Steve’s book! Gave it 5 stars on Amazon, and have recommended it to friends. By the way, your book (which I also have and love!) is on display in the Maine Coastal Botanical Garden’s gift shop. :-)

    Beautiful comp! Smoke bush leaves are the best. Anxious to see the other two.
    The Light Eaters is on my list to read. I can’t wait. Am reading The Insect Crisis and Entangled Life concurrently, both fascinating (I think you’d like).
