The new Bas Bleu catalog is here. It is one of my favorite book catalogs! They have such an eclectic assortment of reading and writing paraphernalia! Here are a few things that look interesting to me: Sense of Place by Michael Shapiro--writers and their lives and inspiration, Shelf Life by Suzanne Strempek Shea--I have read her fiction, and this is her adventure of working in a bookstore, Schlepping Through the Alps by Sam Apple--I never find books about Austria--this one certainly sounds unique, Pride and Prejudice Beach Towel--this speaks for itself!, I need to order my 2006 Reading Woman Calendar (they also have notecards!), Unwise Passions by Alan Pell Crawford--a historical, woman's bio involving a crime (right up my alley--LOL), Bad Girl Note Cards (these also speak for themselves!), Typewriter Key Bracelet--way cool!, and finally Treehouses of the World by Pete Nelson--also way cool! All this is just in the first half of the catalog. Go to their website and request a catalog--and you can see what you're missing in the second half!!
