My Work Wall

I've added bits and pieces to the wall in my work area over the five+ years (June 2018) I've been BOOK's Lady at the thrift store. It's mostly stuff from donations.

I've posted most photos original size--might be slow to load and you may need to scroll right to see whole image.

In every generation she passes into holy souls..."
