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.

@VWDasher
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 Harmonious household, no waiting for the other to finish!
@VWDasher
Wow!! Asterix was my favorite cartoon. Haha! 🫠
@SubComandG You're never too old for Asterix!
@VWDasher The framed Sendak is just brilliant, wow!
@caity It's gorgeous! So need to hang it up near my desk!
@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!
@teadrinker I bought that, oh, would be near 20 years ago. Good god it's gone up in price :( Still, beautiful book.
