52 Books: Oliver Jeffers' Once Upon an Alphabet

For anyone that is a fan of Oliver Jeffers' work, there is no need to explain why Once Upon an Alphabet is one of the most awesome alphabet books in existence today. Each letter of the alphabet has a story that was written for it, and the stories begin to intertwine as you read through the book. It's not hard to read through the entire thing in one sitting, but we usually like to pick a couple of letters from the inside of the front cover -- for letter recognition -- and read those specific stories. The letters "C" and "K" are my personal favourites -- although I do enjoy when we stumble upon the owl and the octopus.

I found the most amazing treasures at the Flock & Gather Handmade Market this spring -- some of which I cannot share because they are intended to be Christmas gifts. I always enjoy perusing the handmade goods that are available from some incredibly talented people. This time it was nice to have the opportunity to browse -- for 2 1/2 hours -- without the responsibility of my own shop. Above are some of the items that I found and could not leave behind.
