A little somethin’ before bed!
There is nothing I find sexier than…
a big stack of old books. Sometimes I look at pics of a room full of old dusty, smelly (to some) books and think...that's what the inside of my head looks like. My mind has an old roll top desk in the left hand corner with an old chair, that has rusty wheels, pushed up... Continue Reading →
