Recommended Reading.....

Pin It I wanted to share with you some of my favorite books of late:

First, I will mention a jewelry book entitled "bead on a wire" written by Sharilyn Miller. This book is one of the first books I purchased when I began my interest in jewelry making. I am self taught, so this was a close companion of mine in the beginning year of my jewelry discoveries. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the beginnings of wire jewelry. The descriptions are easy to follow and the photos are a great addition.


Another is a Vegetarian Cookbook by Linda Yoakam and Sue Spitler entitled "1,001 Low-Fat Vegetarian Recipes". There are lots of yummy, good for you recipes for vegetarians to peruse through in this large book.





Lastly, one of my favorite authors, David Sedaris' "When you are engulfed in flames". I had the pleasure of seeing him read some essay's from this book last October. His observations and assumptions make for interesting reading! He even signed my copy of this book for me :-)
