the world is a generous place

I posted about pomanders and the very next day, Show Me How from Derek and Lauren showed up on my doorstep. And wa-la, number 41 is this image. I didn't know that you need to let them cure but these clear, clever graphics told me I better hustle if I want these ready for the holiday season. I'm on it.

Then I flipped to number 482 and I'm no longer stumped for what our entry for the Thanksgiving Talent Show entry should be. All we need are some coconuts, sheet metal and a narrative to tie it all together. The book includes 500 things you should know, like how to fold a galette correctly, twist a ballon dog, and repel backyard pests. The whole effect is an addictive combination of straightforward information packaged in cheery graphic panels.

But beware if you crack this book open as you walk in the door. If you're anything like me, an hour later, you'll still be bent over the kitchen island, pawing through the pages to see what other wrinkles you can add to your brain.
