Old Copies of the Canon...

Hi Everyone!
I hope everyone has had a super blessed week!
I'm sorry about not posting the contest information yet, but Grace is currently away so we haven't had time to finish prepping. It will be up soon, though.

But for now, I have some awesome pictures to share!
My mom and I went on a college tour of Bryan College in Dayon, TN a couple of weeks ago. They had a libary FULL of very old books. I, naturally, wandered to the British Literature section and got my hands on two copies of Sherlock Holmes...one, a copy of the Hound of the Baskervilles from 1902:

And one, a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, dated 1900.

There was also a book with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's picture in it, dated 1896.

They were pretty awesome...all falling apart and such, but it was amazing to hold a book in my hands back from the time Holmes was actually created :)
Anywho, like I said, contest information is on it's way; I shall likely be working on it this very afternoon. Enjoy the pictures, and have a spectacular weekend!

First Ever DoaH Contest!

First of all, I'm baaack! My tendonitis is gone and I am now free to type as normal again. Thank goodness.

Secondly, I have just emailed Grace in regards to the writing contest she mentioned in the last post. Just so y'all know that it's underway :) I think we will probably have it up within the next week.

And answering Mary's question, you will have plenty of time to plan. I think we'll probably make the deadline a couple of weeks out, to make sure everyone has enough time.

It'll be FUN! Keep on the look out...if all goes as planned, we should have the whole thing put together by next week sometime :)
