Back to real life

It's been more than a week since we closed Little Book and everyone headed back to their respective homes. Hard to believe.

We had such a fantastic time in Seattle: for those of us coming from the midwest, the 70 degree temps were a pretty welcome relief. And we grew to really love our neighbors at Fuel Coffee and Kingfish Cafe (just look at the picture of that strawberry shortcake on their homepage. oh we ate that. yes we did). We got to meet some of our idols (Jane Jones of Book It!) and catch up with some of our old friends. We were the recipients of great generosity from the Seattle Rep and the Village Theatre. And we got to see Little Book up and on its feet in the Washington Ensemble Theater's quirky and perfect little space. We're pretty proud of it.


I mean, look at that. How often do you get to have floor to ceiling windows as your backdrop?

And now we're on to the next: Jen's heading into the Missouri Historical Society archives next week to dig around and get this piece on Patience Worth moving along.

Stay tuned!
