Simple pleasures

Gion Park

my favourite pair of sandals—Hush Puppie suede slip-ons in a park in Gion

From cally’s post, I self-tagged myself with her things I never cease to be amazed or excited by, no matter how old I get theme.

  1. A bookstore will make me want to go to the toilet—exciting, you see.
  2. The smell of rain and grass
  3. A gift from anyone
  4. Going to thrift shops and scoring big
  5. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting
  6. Watching a dog run—or just watching dogs
  7. Getting a handmade birthday card and a small simple surprise from T-boy every year

As usual, I don’t tag anyone—feel free to join in!

oh. my. god. I have to go to the toilet as well when I’m in a good bookstore! It’s just too exciting for me, makes me want to move my bowels for some strange reason.

I found your site on Creature Comforts, I look forward to buying some fabric from you!

I“m a librarian and we library folks always discuss that. I was trying to find the link, but I can’t find it. Someone wrote an article on “the bookstore/bathroomitis. I, too, suffer from it. It’s hilarious.

BTW-love your site

I think it might be the smell of the books—or the chemicals from them. Seriously! :)
