Treats
At Art & Soul, they have a vendor night where, well, vendors, hawk their wares. Everything from original art from Rock Star Artists (usually the teachers) to ephemera and vintage goodies, to art supplies of all kinds. I usually try to buy myself something special on vendor night. It's something I save for. This year I didn't go into vendor night with a specific thing in mind, instead waiting for something to speak to me.
Well.
That something screamed to me the moment I walked in the venue.
I bought this little (3" x 4") handmade journal from Doris Arndt. I love the size! The inside papers are lovely and will hold up to water media. The binding is so detailed and exquisite. *swoon* This was just the thing to commemorate a retreat defined by visual journaling classes. I'm both excited and terrified to work in such a beautiful book.
And speaking of treats ... I received this little treat from Mr. P. today:
Oh, god, this is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!! What a special treat...the one from Mr. P as well!

What a beautiful book!!! I don't think I've ever actually seen a handmade book in person, come to think of it. I've made my share of them, but this looks lovely! The chocolate looks good too!

Wow, that book is awesome! Really like the pattern the spine stitching makes. Strawberry looks yummy.
