oooh! ~
hey, there's a new book on the coffee table ~
my good friend, fellow misfit & part-time santa's elf just sent me this cool book ~
the stars: a new way to see them ~
it's by h.a. rey, who'll you recognize as the guy who brought us curious george :) ~
this book has an easily readable approach that comfortably introduces us to the stars without overwhelming our brains with too many technicalities ~
it has every kind of star chart imaginable to show you the way through the night sky ~
for years mr dad & i have photo'd eclipses & supermoons ~
year-round celestial clock ~
originally published in the 50s, this vintage book still has pluto reassuringly included among the planets, out there at the edge of our solar system ~
toxic lived on the moon for awhile, not unlike gumby ~
it's starting to feel like xmas now :) ~

more moon madness today ~
this huge blue moon decal looks great in mr dad's spaceroom ;) ~
along with his moon nitelite ~
& other space & scifi themed items ~
we love things that glow in the dark! ~
this tiny moon viewer actually works great :D ~
it has teeny tiny viewmaster-like slides ~
showing the earth & the moon ~
nice & crisp & clear ~
as large as you want :) ~
we'll be up early to photo the full moon as usual ;) ~
click the links in this post for many moons & other space fun..

as the full moon approaches i thought i'd share some of our own moon madness around the house ;) ~
i just love this vintage telescopic view of the moon print i have up in my room <3 ~
i also have this glow in the dark moon up on the wall by alice & the white rabbit ~
they also glow nicely at night ;) ~
although it's always near impossible to photograph with my cameras ~
i've also tried to photo the glow in the dark constellations i have up on my ceiling, as well as in mr dad's spaceroom & the toyroom :D ~
we're kind of obsessed with the moon here & are always taking photos of the different full moons as seen here in my photo albums ~
more like this tomorrow..

it may seem an odd time for me to post a xmas book here at the onset of spring ~
but this is a very special book my son & i made way back when he was young for my niece, his cousin marissa ~
she was still small & learning how to read so we were helping her with the alphabet & fun words like kitty ;) ~
mice, mnms & munching monsters! ~
i'm thinking of marissa as she is due to deliver her own first child any day now <3 ~
one xmas of long ago i gave her & her sister crystal this little old lady who swallowed a fly plush toy & it became a family favorite ~
a quiet queen & her quail.. i love my son's drawings included here, along with pix of cousins playing in the pool ~
all is love.. ~
updated: it's a girl! born on this day, happy birthday!!
