I Am the Chosen King
I find Helen Hollick's writing to be magical. As a confirmed lover of all things European ,and of the 15th and 16th centuries, I didn't think that I would have much interest in the earlier history of …

It Happened One Bite
If I was going to make a choice to buy - or not buy- these books based on the covers alone I can guarantee that they would not have made into my house. I am not, or so I have thought, a romance, bodice-ripper …

Post-it(R) Pockets, Multi-pack Clear Dotted
Pockets like this is really a good idea! They're really great for journals and for holding all of those pesky receipts that, without a better place to put them, we shove into whatever little nook or cranny …

My most recent interest has been metal. I love embossing metal foil and, I suppose, stamping metal was a logical progression. I want to learn some wire wrapping techniques (thanks to a necklace that I …
