I love books, and have found that as the years go by , patterns I didn't used to be drawn to, I now like. Also I love to sit down with a stack, and spend time looking. Maybe I will like just one thing about a pattern, and it will give me an idea for something else. Also, I have picked up some used books on Amazon, they are always in new condition when they come. I just feel like they are a good investment for me,, or at least that is what I tell myself LOL
