“...the air was perfumed with the delicious fragrance unique to an unsavored book. “ The Star Garden - Nancy E. Turner #bookstagram #nancyeturner #thestargarden

“My pa used to say it (sheep hearding) was the first calling of King David, and that every time you put out your hands to shear a sheep, you are reaching back through the ages.” - Sarah’s Quilt | Nancy E. Turner ... This is what tickles me most about two of my greatest loves: writing and knitting (and reading, now that I’m thinking about it). Every time you open a book and sink into a new world, press your pen to paper, or brush your fingers over plush happy yarn (or anything else that requires patience with your hands), you are interacting with history. It’s kind of like straddling a state line so you can be in two places at once. This merino mohair blend once belonged to frolicksome sheep in Spain. I get to soak in another country whilst clicking way a dance that someone hundreds of years ago used to keep their families warm. #knitstagram #instaknit #bookstagram #nancyeturner #prairielit

One of the first warm days of the year...Everyone: rushes out to enjoy the silken breeze and blossoming trees...Britta: Hmm, where’s my Spiced Pumpkin candle 😍. *shakes head* I really am trying, guys lol. #autumnlover #pumpkinspicedeverything #bookstagram #theseismywords #nancyeturner

Vengeance Road really opened me up to Western/Pioneer literature. The latter half of the 19th Century has captured my heart for some reason. I love reading about people making lives for themselves and their families in a seemingly harsh and cruel world where all seems against you. With this said, I’m excited to begin my journey back into pioneer era Arizona with Sarah Agnes Prine. #bookstagram #vengeanceroad #theseismywords #nancyeturner #pioneerliterature
