Did Clunes today, in a tiny car. And bought lots of books! It's #Booktown weekend!

Found a framed Sendak to hang on my wall, and a Wild Thing living in Clunes.

My partner and I did manage to both buy, from different sellers, the same book 😀

Also got some native plants, just repotted them into old hummus pots. They can live in my kitchen for a while until they're big enough to be repotted outside.

Oh how lovely .

@feather1952 $3 a seedling! Hopefully they all like it in hummus pots and thrive, I'd like to have more flowering natives outside.

@VWDasher Love the wild things book. Used to read it to my class.

@VWDasher Oh, I would love a Wild Things picture for my wall! I thought about buying an extra copy of the book to frame my favourite pages. I think I almost remember the story by heart 🥰

@teadrinker I believe you can get posters of his art!

@VWDasher OK this never occurred to me! Will investigate, thank you!!

@teadrinker I bought a copy of this years ago at a Sendak exhibition, it's expensive but utterly beautiful

(also never buy from Amazon because Bezos is a facist)

@VWDasher Oh, gorgeous! And yep, agree with the stance on Amazon!
Show threadFrankMar 21
@teadrinker I bought that, oh, would be near 20 years ago. Good god it's gone up in price :( Still, beautiful book.

Looks awesome.
I’d love to do that but it’s a near 4hr drive, I’d need to stay somewhere overnight.

@feather1952 It's a gorgeous place for a weekend visit though, you should some year. The books ain't expensive, and there's just so much variety.

@ewen absolutely perfect weather! We drove through fog on the way but clear skies in Clunes.

@VWDasher Looks tempting - good you had a nice time and buying books is always a pleasure.

@SusanneDoering it is, and there's an enormous variety of books for sale. The whole town gets in on it, it takes over the main street. Everyone's selling books, new and old.
