A Long Time Ago and Essentially True by Brigid Pasulka - What a great title. This is the best book I'll read this summer. A book group in the weekly Chicago Tribune book group column had noted that this was their current selection. I loved the title and couldn't resist reserving it immediately. If you're like me, you'll fall in love with the Pigeon and with this story. Like many of my favorite stories, this book takes place in two different times. The setting is Poland, in the village called Half-Village, and then in the city of Krakow. Enjoy!
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
