Feast your eyes on this!

And then imagine how stunned I was at our kick-off that this gorgeous treasure chest filled with marvelously painted story stones was a generous gift from Squiddish to me and to our region!

Thank you, Katherine! (Squiddish aka Thing 2). We will definitely use them throughout the year.

And I would be remiss if I didn't point out that Squiddish is offering beautiful handmade black bags of story stones as a special prize for attendees at the write-ins she is hosting, including her first this Saturday (2 November), 10 AM at the Sugar Grove Public Library; her second, at the Yorkville Starbucks, 6 PM November 13th; and others.
