Valentine's Day Book Time

Though there are no hearts per say on this lovely little (potential) Valentine’s Day gift, it certainly makes my heart pitter patter!  I mean, really, how adorable is this delightful book clock?  And at $24, the price is a Silver Lining. The Book Clock can be found here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/book-clock Designed by Sjoerd van Heumen.

Martin Luther King Day

How amazing and inspiring is it that Martin Luther King Day is on the same day as the (2nd!) Inauguration of this (amazing!) country’s first African American President? Regardless of political views, there sure is a Silver Lining happening here, recognizing that Barack Obama could never have been President had it not been for MLK.
