"I have always imagined that paradise would be a kind of library" ~Jorge Luis Borges

There are places you visit and you fall in love.

That speak to you of its history and secrets.

That have perfect little nooks to get lost in 

and perfect little shops to find yourself in.

This is such a place, this place I now call home.

one of the many "squares" in downtown Savannah

This trip was based on a need for a book and a need for something old.
And we found just that all in one place in the heart of the Historic District.
Among the locals she is simply known as the "the book lady".

This place is a real treat if you love old books.

the king was in heaven

What could be more a more perfect match?
A quaint bookstore with a yarn store above it?
It was kismet...!!!
This yarn store I will have to save for another trip here.

The smell of old books is intoxicating here

The shops is so inviting, warm and welcoming.

The princess made friends fast talking to the book lady and her furry shadow.

the princess fell in love with Cassidy, the dog

The king was stuck pretty much in front of the "classics" section the entire time.

he came home with a nice selection for  himself

Toward the back of the shop was a magical place the princess and I escaped to.

She called it a fairy garden.

We pretended that no one else knew about but us.

she came home with an old Rapunzel story

I fell in love with this Shakespeare collection.

I was not allowed to touch but I took a good whiff...Mmmm....

This was on the captains wish list...
It would be great to go with his Wyeth collection at home.

this Andrew Wyeth was not in our budget... hard to leave behind

As if this shop could not have more ...

I was so happy to see coffee brewing in a small cafe made for two!

Before leaving I made sure to talk to the book lady and sign up for their newsletter.
In our conversation of the book I was currently reading she invited me to check out their book club.
This place can easily reawaken your love for books all over again.
It inspired me to want to create a reading nook in my home.

I'm still in search for the chair that speaks to me.
