Sherbet Lane Stationery box

Sherbet Lane Stationery box - June.

Claire's theme for June was a really gorgeous one and one of my favourite books from my childhood, "The Secret Garden," it was as always beautifully thought out and the box was so exciting to receive. As always I opened it on my own, with a cup of tea and took the time to enjoy every little item as I opened them.

As always Claire wraps everything in tissue paper (pink) and everything is neatly packed inside the box.

So what was inside this month?

First off we have some lovely flowery stickers, a cute fabric button badge, and some washi tape (also floral).

There is a little craft project for you to make, with everything you need to make it. This time it's how to make a paper flower.

Then we have three art prints, i really love these this month and they'd look great framed somewhere in the house. Two are prints and the third is one to colour!

Then we have notecards and gift tags - all matching and floral - these are lovely!

and then a notebook and pen. I really like the pens that you get - they are all fine liners which I love - though occasionally you'll get something different.

and that's what is inside this months box!

Book reading has been a bit slow this month, lots of work on the house and at work too and now Ofsted are in for the next three days so it may be a while. I have one review scheduled but I can't publish it until next month, so you'll have to wait for that one!

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

So I have seen this book many times whilst out shopping but have never bought it. On Thursday I went shopping and picked it up, read the blurb and put it back on the shelf. When I got home I downloaded it onto my kindle ready for a weekend at the beach house. Unfortunately I was still reading The Winter Secret and with a poorly child I didn't get that finished until yesterday. With the 10 year old flaked out on the sofa all day, I decided to start reading it. I knew the reviews were good, but quickly realised how good this book is. It is based on a true story, one that Heather Morris has researched and written with the help of Lale (the main character) and his son. It is a beautiful moving love story surrounded by the horrific day to day happenings of Auschwitz. Morris brings very clear and vivid imagery to her writing, and part of me, even though I know what happened in concentration camps, when it's written from the mouth of one survivor, it still left me num...

The Lost Love Song by Minnie Darke

I really enjoyed this book, the story of Diana Clare (pianist extraordinaire)and her love song written and performed once by her, and then lost after her tragic death. Her husband Arie, grieving for his wife, but his instant love of Evie after a brief encounter, a true love story, a song that finds its way to different couples, all who appreciate the song for what it is, but all who know nothing of its whereabouts or where it came from, and the way in which the song travels around the world, to be brought back to Arie. The couples are all very different, brought together in different ways, across different generations, and so something in the love story will appeal to most readers. It was very cleverly thought through and put together and beautifully written. The characters were well developed and likeable, and the story and the way in which it was interlinked was fabulous. If you like an easy read, and romance then I'd definitely recommend this book. I gave it ...
