Ex Libris

The other day I finally, finally got round to unpacking all my books and putting them back into the book cases downstairs. At last the house is starting to feel like home again! Rediscovering books is always a great pleasure, especially when so many of them were gifts from dear friends. Even better, I was finally able to make use of the amazing birthday present I got from nodbear way back in July - a unique book plate designed just for me by a very talented artist. Isn't it fabulous?! All the elements that make up the design mean something specific to me. No prizes for guessing the name of the ship :) The map is of Lewis, the island where I was born and brought up and the fish represents Glasgow. There are lots of other little elements that mean something to me, but they're my seekrit ;)
