The Ghosts of Christmases,* Past

* birthdays, acts of spontaneous kindness and impulse buys by me.

Just a quick post here as I was thinking about Christmas and the things that are beginning to gather under the tree!


You can find more close ups (assuming this is a close up!) at Macro Monday 2 and I heart Macro if they are up and running in this season!

Cheers.  SM

  8. I was trying to see if we had any of the same books but too hard to see what you had there. But thanks for the idea; I may take a photo of my book collection to post.

  14. Books are great friends of mine. Sadly, when I left Tasmania, I could not pack all of them - I had enough to fill a small shop. But I am still left with a substantial number.

  15. I am with Camera girl - tried to read some of the titles…could manage " Genesis" and " The Ice"….
    Anyway - a fun idea and wishing you a Merry Christmas and many more books!
