I was at Babar Books in the Pointe Claire Village (Quebec) this past weekend, and spotted fellow IFKer Susan Mitchell's latest book, Too Many Fairies on the shelf. So I snapped a few photos with my trusty iPhone.
Below: The cover. And you can see the spines of the book on the shelf.

Getting my creativity juices flowing with this book, Print & Pattern- a wonderful companion to the popular Print & Pattern blog. Thanks to Bowie Style for including me as one of the designers featured:
Also, I went back to NYC to see friends, family and the Tim Burton Exhibit at the MoMA.
Doing craft shows is also a wonderful inspiration; talking to fellow artists, seeing booth setups, the art of interacting with customers and or course, everyone's crafts. This was my table at the Blue House Ann Arbor show a few week ago.

I'm fortunate to live within a few blocks of one of the few (maybe ONLY) independent children's book stores on the Island of Montreal, Babar Books/Livres. This morning I was braving my way to the village post office (we just had our first big snow of the season so...treacherous!), and passed by Babar, glancing up to see their window display of books. Smack dab in front was Light the Menorah, a book illustrated by our own IFKer, Jannie Ho! Fortunately I had my iPhone with me and snapped a few pictures. Look how it stands out even from across the street! Eye-catching, indeed! Congrats, Jannie! Loved seeing your art work so prominently displayed!

Looks wonderful!! I love Susan's work. You go sweetpea!! :o)
Lovely illustrations!
Cute! Really love the kitty!
Go Susan!! I saw this at borders the other day too. I gotta whip out my iphone more often and take some pics! ;-)
This book store sounds super cool.
