nonfiction (letters, recipes, crafts with natural materials, photography). I enjoyed sifting through this beautifully constructed collection--taking the time to appreciate the photos and the thoughtfulness shared between friends. I mostly skimmed over the text but paused on most of the pages (before deciding that, no I probably wasn't likely to make this recipe or that recipe, or to fuse wool to silk to make felt pinecones, or spend time making a wooly bunny toy that my friend would toss in the wash and possibly destroy).

I expected to be moved more. Get a sense of something. And I didn't always love the composition -- either the composition of the actual photographs or the way they were displayed on the pages. Overall, THREE of five stars.… (meer)
