persephone secret santa

a day late, but i hope you can forgive me! this year was my second time participating in the persephone secret santa and it was even better than the last.  my secret santa was rebecca, a new to me blogger who writes primarily at spoon.

the book i received is a new dorothy whipple novel, they were sisters, which i’m thrilled about. i’ve really taken to whipple and i had hoped i could continue reading more books by her and watching her progress as a writer.

i think the best part of the gift though is the part that rebecca made, which is a small painting of the beautiful endpaper in the novel. i’m in the process of having a custom frame made for it and i wish the photographs that i took of it did it justice, it is beyond beautiful!

thank you so much rebecca. (and to claire and verity for organizing this and making it possible to have a thoroughly grey christmas).

 

ps, iris was my santee and i hope her post will be up shortly with what she’s received.
