I am heading out to Fayetteville to spend the week with my
son! I am really excited about the whole thing, except the drive! I consider
myself directionally challenged so I’m a little nervous. However, I love to
drive long distances, and I have my trusty iPhone map thingy, so wish me luck.
I hope to get to visit the Dickson St. Bookstore! This place
is amazing for such a little store, books of every kind and stacked to the ceiling!
The last time I was there I found a beautiful book about painters that had “plates”
in it of the paintings. I bought it thinking I was going to take the plates out
and frame them, but I just can’t bear to ruin the book. I should have known
this ahead of time because I am a book junkie. I can’t stand a book that has
folded pages or messy cover. I don’t mind if its old and ragged, but I feel
compelled to unfold the pages and smooth all the corners, and basically show
the book some love. Do you have any such compulsions? Please tell me I’m not
the only one!
