A few weeks ago I got to spend a lovely day down by the lake shore with a friend. We ended up stopping in a small coffee shop in the basement of an older building and, while my friend was enjoying the use of their wi-fi, I sipped on her chi-tea. I’d called dibs on the place we were sitting in as soon as we’d entered the shop (happily, the group that’d been sitting there was just leaving when we got there).<\/p>\n

I stood guard over the\u00c2\u00a0pleasant\u00c2\u00a0little corner while she grabbed her drink and a brownie. I felt like we’d found a little piece of England. Down under the street edge, but with a small window in the corner letting light in, the arms of plants wound along the brick walls and over a little\u00c2\u00a0trellis\u00c2\u00a0archway adorning the corner. A nice little sign warned customers not to use the plant holders as trash bins and another one explained that there was a 2-hour time limit on the corner since it was so popular. This second sign dashed my hopes to claiming this spot to be a future I’m-a-writer-and-this-is-where-I-write spot…<\/p>\n

It was on the wood bench rounding the back corner that I found the booklet. A little black thing, filled with pictures and notes and writings and doodles. Oh, the fun I had browsing that booklet! I decided to take some quick snapshots with my phone to share the pages I found most interesting…<\/p>\n
