Book Description

Photographer Anne Herman captures adorable canines during the moments we appreciate them most: when they're just being themselves. Black-and-white duotone photographs are paired whimsically with quotations by such diverse names as Confucius, Mahatma Gandhi, Fran Lebowitz, and Emo Philips. Our ability to relate to each image is poignantly expressed by some of our fellow humans in articulate snippets of wisdom and observation. We can relate to each quote, making this book just one more way we learn from our favorite four-legged companions.

Book Description

Since Victorian times, the pansy's pert face has charmed gardeners and gentlefolk alike. From tiny Johnny-jump-ups to velvety violas, these multihued blossoms have inspired artists, textile designers, and even cooks, and stationery, keepsakes, and embroidered linens have immortalized the flower that means "thoughts of you." Now Emelie Tolley and Chris Mead, gardening and herb experts extraordinaire, offer A Potpourri of Pansies, a beautifully illustrated tribute to their very favorite flower.

Pansies are among the easiest flowers to cultivate, both indoors and out, and because they are simple to dry, they can be used in myriad decorative ways, such as fragrant potpourris or embellished candles. Chris and Emelie showcase the versatile pansy with recipes, gardening hints, simple bouquets, and trivia and lore. Pansy lovers will rejoice in this gorgeous celebration of a perennially popular flower.

Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover..........2001-06-23

Anyone that loves and appreciates the quality of the best needlework of the Victorian era will be beautifully inspired by this gorgeous book that provides what its cover promises, the photography alone is good reason for its purchase. To turn each page is a pleasure, as gorgeous lace samples are used to frame the pages that are filled with delicate items to tickle the fancy of any romantic. To then have the addition of a printed sample included so that you can immediately try the techniques shown, is an added bonus.

We see many lovely books filled with dreamy images of Victorian treasures that are far beyond our reach financially, but this book puts those items within our grasp by using the hand skills we have developed over the years. It is a commercial venture, of course, and promoting a particular brand of an embroidery machine since this is what the author uses and is familiar with. I was so inspired by the images that I immediately started searching for a location where I could see this machine. When I saw the price range of them, I immediately realized that the machines are currently out of my price range, fortunately, these techniques do not necessarily require an expensive machine at all if you are an accomplished hand-stitcher that admires quality and uses quality materials.

Jenny Haskins is a very creative designer who is generous about sharing her talents with complete patterns and detailed instructions. I just purchased her next book, "Victorian Roses" which is just as beautifully presented. I highly recommend "Victorian Pansies" if to just inspire and offer the opportunity of allowing the book to lay open to view at almost any page which greatly contribute to the romatic look we desire in our homes and immerse us anew in the homely beauty of the old-fashioned pansy.

Victorian Pansies by Jenny Haskins.......2001-02-10

For those of you who appreciate the Victorian style and own a home embroidery machine this is the book for you. The author gives several examples of what you can create with machine embroidery. In case you don't have an embroidery machine, you are not out of luck. Almost all of the projects can be constructed with a regular sewing machine, and some require no sewing at all. The machine embroidery merely enhances the item. She uses motifs from embroidery designs that she created (you can purchase the embroidery design disks), and gives you new and creative ideas on how to use them. The book comes with patterns that correspond to the written instructions. She also gives instructions in both in the front and the back of the book that has photographs and drawings. However, in some of her written instructions she doesn't include a description of the stitch being sewn (i.e. satin stitch with 2.5 width), she merely gives the number of the stitch on HER computerized sewing machine (i.e. stitch No. 60, width and length 6.0). By the way, she uses a Pfaff embroidery/sewing machine. Therefore, the book is not entirely universal when it comes to different brand sewing machines. However, you can look at the picture and match the stitch with your machine. The materials she uses ARE available in the U.S. (author is from Australia) or from her website. There is a listing of suppliers in the back of the book as well.

Victorian Pansies.......2000-10-10

A beautifully photographed book, more of a picture book than a 'how to'. I found that it was overly long in the project explanations pages, and sometimes they seemed too complicated to read right through. There are about 20 projects, nicely illustrated and all using the embroidery features found on the latest computerized machines, and the author's Pansy disc. Some supplies are hard to find in this country and no substitutes given for US readers. The book is written by an Australian artist. Overall I would say this is a pretty book for one's collection and an asset if one is charmed by the lovely flower, the Pansy.

Book Description

Artist Deborah Schenck finds inspiration for her photographs while taking countryside walks and exploring antique shops near her home in Vermont. Originally from England, where she worked as a professional photographer with a passion for historical photographs, she was drawn several years ago to the old print look of Polaroid transfers, a process by which a photographic image is transferred to watercolor paper rather than photographic paper. Her images, which she further enhances with paints, capture the simple and subdued beauty of flowers, seashells, and antique objects, and are among Chronicle Books' best-selling notecards. The Deborah Schenck line is a tribute to the delicate colors, nostalgic imagery, and the textured look and feel of handmade objects that Deborah strives for in her photographs. Our notecard collections, with 20 assorted cards and envelopes, are a sleek and affordable alternative to boxed notecards and showcase a dazzling array of contemporary art and photography.

If you're looking for an objective guide to New York City, you won't find it in Betty & Pansy's Severe Queer Review of New York. What you will find becomes clear on the very first page: "New York City, as you already know, is totally fun, fast, dirty and completely messed up, which we discovered the hard way when we arrived all alone and virginal. Once we were worn down, used up and permanently embittered, we wrote this book as a warning to those who might come after us.... " It should be apparent by now that Betty and Pansy are not your average travel writers. As they themselves caution, "Some of you may not agree with us, but we are forced by our natures to call them as we see them (and to leave 'em where God flung 'em). So bear that in mind."

In the Severe Queer Review of New York, gay and lesbian travelers will find a comprehensive guide to bars, clubs, restaurants, favorite cruising areas, and other attractions, all described in Betty and Pansy's inimitable style. A description of the Wall Street Sauna, for example, says "At first I wondered if a nudist colony and an old-age home had collided, and then a bathhouse had been built around the accident site.... "For the skinny on New York's best gay and lesbian hangouts, trust Betty and Pansy--they won't steer you wrong.

Book Description

Reviewing everything from the historic gay landmarks of the West Village and the clubs of Chelsea to the cruising venues of Times Square and the lesbian hot spots of Park Slope, Betty and Pansy are as trashy and opinionated as only two queens can be. Cattiness, sarcasm, dish, dirt, and a new section on Fire Island — it's all here from two seasoned travel writers.

GREAT BOOK!!!!!.......2007-03-07

Tip Lewis and His Lamp

I LOVED this book! It is very interesting (and who doesn't like interesting books?)

And if you like this book I recommend "A Basket of Flowers" and "Mary Jones and her Bible"! I love reading and have probably read all of the good books in my libraries! So I was VERY glad to find these books!

I liked this book because: The author knows how to explain things w/out over explaining them, it is a good book (which means it is really interesting), It is something good to read! and I don't know how to explain it... I just couldn't put it down!

OK, I will TRY to explain it w/out giving it a-way, but for me it's hard. This book is about a boy (named Tip Lewis) who is in a gang type thing and he goes to Sunday School sometimes but not always and he decides to TRY to follow God but doesn't know if he can, because he is like the ring leader in the town and stuff. So... read the book to find out if he can do it!

Inspiring story!.......2006-06-24

This is a story about a boy who has to help support his mother and sister. Learning about Christ changes his viewpoint on life, helps him make better choices, and gives him hope in trying situations.

Book Description

This volume deals with how Christians of the first centuries looked back on the period of the nascent Church. Thanks to the incomparable stature of its founder, Jesus Christ, who had descended from heaven and commissioned his Apostles, this period was authorative for all Christians in matters of doctrine, institutions, rites and morality, a new phenomenon in the Graeco-Roman world. Its implications are explored in sixteen essays dealing with various subjects such as liturgy, the canon of Scriptures, the role of miracles, art, monasticism, and ministry. All contributions, taking into account both the views of individual Church fathers and Gnostic and Manichaean texts, make a large amount of primary material available.

Book Description

To earn the reputation of a literary giant within the generation of Waugh, Orwell, and Greene is no mean feat. To do so with the grace and genius that characterized Anthony Powell--whose twelve-volume A Dance to the Music of Time is possibly the only English-language work to match the majestic scope of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past--is nothing short of spectacular. Yet Powell himself remains absent from his writing; he was, said the New York Times, "a writer of mordant succinctness who rewards the reader while revealing little of himself."

Powell did eventually reveal himself in four volumes of memoirs, published between 1976 and 1982. This edition of Anthony Powell's Memoirs is an abridged and revised version of those volumes, a version that has never before been published in this form in the United States. The result is not only a fascinating view of Powell as a man and an author but also a unique history of British literary society and the social elite Powell lampooned and moved within from the twenties through the eighties. From Eton and Oxford to his life as a novelist and critic, Powell observes all--the obscenity trial sparked by Lady Chatterley's Lover; Shirley Temple's libel suit after Graham Greene reviewed Wee Willie Winkie "with even more than his usual verve"--and paints vivid portraits of Kingsley Amis, V.S. Naipaul, T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and countless others. Most importantly, Powell's lively memoirs banish all thought of the man as a relic of the British gentry. He was a modernist, a Tory, and more than a little interested in genealogy and peerage, but a man who, according to Ferdinand Mount, "miraculously knew what life was like."

To Keep the Ball Rolling.......2001-05-10

To earn the reputation of a literary giant within the generation of Waugh, Orwell, and Greene is no mean feat. To do so with the grace and genius that characterized Anthony Powell...is nothing short of spectacular. This book of Powell's memoirs is the first one-volume collection to be published in America. The reviews for this book are glowing. "Powell was indeed a literary giant, and eminently deserving of the praise that was lavished upon him."- The Wall Street Journal. "A Master of wit, paradox, and social delineation."- The New York Times. "[Powell was] more fun than Proust, and at least as true to human nature."- John Perry, Salon Magazine
