Tell Me Some More . . .





I bought this book for the great big rocket ship photo!  Something about big red rockets is really appealing to me.  I love vintage science illustrations and this one is a classic!

Woodworking: A Father Son Activity Book




This book is tiny, but so useful and simple to follow!  And because the projects are vintage, they're so charming too!  I'd love to make the cut-out turtle or squirrel!
