TheThreeCandlesticks

We have a tin box of dried out pens in our house. No one is bothered enough to throw them out. And so, they remain with us.

Confession: I have an unnatural obsession with trees. I love to create them into characters. They are so fun to draw! Their shapes and textures! An example below.

Raining here a lot in the Northeast-a balm to my soul. It must be the Irish in me. However, my dog, Pellinore, finds it insufferable. I love walking in the rain, and Pellinore refuses to leave the house.

Pelly, once again, we are not compatible.
And you do not have a shred of Irish in your bones.

Oh I can’t wait for this either, I loved the book!

I love the Alice books! I collect editions that strike my fancy and found these at Argosy Book Store a few years back. I wanted to share them here on Bluesky just to see if anyone else had these printed in 1896 and 1899 by Macmillan. These are the oldest editions I have in my collection currently.

If you are interested in reading a short story about a creepy boat ride that references Greek Mythology, then please hop on over to The Three Candlesticks Substack to read SPITE.
