#pinhoop

The Night Circus is one of my favorite reads from this year! The second photo shows my first attempt at making a pin hoop for my new enamel pins. Starting to get crafty over here... 😂

What book have you re-read more than any other? 📚 I first read THE GOLDEN COMPASS when I was in 6th grade, when my dad bought it for me as a Christmas present. I then proceeded to re-read it countless times while I waited two years for the 2nd book to be released. Then I re-read both books even more while I waited *four* years for the final book in the trilogy!!! (I was a senior in high school when it finally came out.) I've since re-read all three books together several times, and they remain my all-time favorites to this day. . . So, thanks, Dad, for introducing me to the book that would change my life. Happy Father's Day! . . Gold velvet pin hoop is from @thevintagefoxshoppe ... set an alarm for next Saturday's restock & use NOVICE10 to save. (Swipe right for a close-up of the hoop & pins!) . . Lyra's Oxford candle is a custom from @threeknockscandles but there are a ton of great candles available now in the shop. NOVEL10 to save. . . Blue color-block socks (worn scrunched here, but they are thigh-highs) from @peonyandmoss - NOVEL10 to save . . #FearYourNovelChapter - Fictional Dads #AllTheBooksJune19 - Favorite Fictional Dads . . #SockSunday #socksandbooks #booksandsocks #peonyandmoss #threeknockscandles #pinhoops #pinhoop #pinstagram #hisdarkmaterials #thegoldencompass #philippullman #favoritebook #favoriteauthor #bookcollection #bookcollector #bookgram #mybookstagram #mybookishlife #mybookishfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/ByxeiQigj2a/?igshid=1o1svsrhm5q4v

“And I wondered if love was too weak a word for what he felt, what he’d done for me. For what I felt for him.” - A Court of Mist and Fury . . 🌟QOTD: if you could live out a scene from a book which scene would you pick? . . Happy Tuesday friends!! I am soooooo excited to show off one of my custom pin hoops!! I created this design myself and then sent it over to have @ofthesepages work their pin hoop magic and I am in LOVE!! It turned out so much better then I could have imagined. One of my favorite scenes is the starfall scene from ACOMAF and if I could pick any scene to live in I would 100% pick this one!! Well I might also pick another scene that takes place in a cabin with some paint...😉.

“Pain had its uses...it put things in perspective.

“Anyone can believe in someone, or something, that always succeeds, Mistress. But failure…ah, now, that is hard to believe in, certainly and truly. Difficult enough to have value, I think.” - The Final Empire . . 🌟QOTD: What is a series you still need to finish? . . Hello friends and happy Tuesday! I’m off to work tonight but had to show off some of my new favorite bookish items!! I recently got this gorgeous Mistborn inspired pin by @herpaperworld and of course I love my mistborn Fable band!! Figured this all fit perfectly with today’s prompt of wise characters, because who is wiser than Sazed?? I loved the first book but only got a bit into the second book before I put it down for something else. I definitely want to finish it at some point but alas so many books and so little time!! . .

“Blood magic is rooted in emotion: the faster your heart beats, the faster your blood pumps...but therein also lies the trouble. It’s easy to lose your grip, let the magic overtake you.” - Bloodleaf . . 🌟QOTD: What books have some of your favorite magic systems? . . Happy Thursday friends!! Let’s talk magic today because who doesn’t want magic in their life?!? I absolutely love reading about blood magic and one of my favorites is Bloodleaf!! Aurelia has spent her life in fear of being discovered as a witch by the Tribunal aka witch hunters because even being the Princess would not stop them from burning her at the stake. But that doesn’t stop this fierce woman from learning all she can about her blood magic! And wow is it an adventure of a learning experience! Aurelia has a talent for finding trouble and she gets into lots of it in Bloodleaf! I don’t want to give too much away but it is an amazing journey filled with handsome men, evil witch hunters, ghosts and a bit of a mystery!! And if you liked Bloodleaf WOW you are going to love book 2, Greythorne!!! I finished a couple days ago and you do NOT want to miss this one! It was incredible and delves deeper into Aurelia’s magic and a different magic as well!! And if you preorder Greythorne you can get some beautiful character cards and necklace!! Swipe on the picture to see how beautiful the items are!! Details can be found on @crysrensmith page for how to submit your receipts!! I hope everyone has a magical day!! . .
