I've heard a lot about this little bookstore, Misty Valley Books, for years. So on Saturday, a gorgeous day, I drove to Chester Vermont.
I bought
Her Fearful Symmetry and some greeting cards. The store was pretty much a typical small, independent bookstore. I think what makes it special is that they sponser talks/readings by well-known authors on a regular basis.
A little buidling across the street.
A big building across the street.
Here is where I ate lunch. A huge Victorian painted artistically. The sun was behind the building so I had to face into the sun to get the photo which is why it isnt much good. As my Dad used to tell me, the sun should be behind the photographer. I had a fun outing. Also stopping into a Celtic shop and purchasing a Polartec jacket on sale and a book about the wells of Ireland.
I had a photo of this collage in step one A, but can't find it so here is the original pile of papers among which I chose to make the collage below.
I don't think this is finished. I also made a mistake. I wrote on it with Micron pen which is okay. But continued writing later and used another pen which blurrs when I paint over it so bluck. Not sure what to do. Could place a layer of tissue over it perhaps and redo? The photo is one of a bunch I bought in a thrift store from the 1920's.
The orginal proposed layout for the collage below.
Not sure if I'll do more tweaking of this one.
