Weird vintage craft books

Book wish list

I should head to the library soon.

Another Earth?

Scientists confirmed the existence of a habitable planet, a mere 600 light years away.  So interesting, and kinda trippy, given that I watched this movie last night.  Which was also trippy, in a good way.

Snow day!

Rolling Homes

This book looks amazing.  The photos pretty much speak for themselves.

Vintage National Parks

I've been spending some quality time with National Geographic lately.

Looking forward to a new way of living: slowing down, simplifying, stargazing, skinny dipping (and other things that don't begin with an "s").

The Beginners

Speaking of movies, I watched Mike Mills' latest the other night, The Beginners.  It was really charming and pretty heartbreaking, but in a good way.  It made me want to watch Thumbsucker again, his last one (featuring a perfectly cast Keanu Reeves--gotta love that). 

Night Tide

I'm heading up to Boulder to see this tonight--a thriller about mermaids, complete with (a very young) Dennis Hopper.  I'm sold.
