I adore your blog. I totally love these items found in the Kyoto flea market. I love all your quotes and references. Thank you.<br /><br />I have a friend who lives on Whidbey Island. And also a friend on the east coasat who lives on Ocrakoke. I think living on an island would make up for being half an hour away from stores, etc. How wonderful.

As part of my profession, preservation is imperative to protect fragile, delicate objects, especially papers. Not only should you scan and work with the copies, but the originals should be kept in archival boxes away from direct or bright light, and kept in a temperate, stable climate. Also, ensure that you are not wearing any kind of hand lotion when handling these items. Archival gloves may not be a bad idea, too.<br />P.S.: i am quite envious of your finds!Kelly M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07281523503121981821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-62568568988364148642009-11-16T16:47:05.231-08:002009-11-16T16:47:05.231-08:00Robyn Gordon linked me to your blog.

I am often suprised at what I find and can't believe that someone else parted with it and that no one else has taken it home yet!<br />2 people recently have commented saying that my work reminds them of yours...I will take that as a compliment:) I do find it interesting though because I don't see our work as similar except for in our colour pallete! I guess we all see different things in our own and each others and have a different understanding of it. <br /><br />That book is brilliant, I renewed it 2 x at the library and loved every page.Lucky Dip Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641107558317278059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-40008761413633821132009-11-16T11:54:39.368-08:002009-11-16T11:54:39.368-08:00Great purchases Donna.
