...the first glance to see how many pages there are, the second to see how it ends, the breathless first reading, the slow lingering over each phrase and each word, the taking possession, the absorbing of them one by one, and finally the choosing of the one that will be carried in one's thoughts all day... -- Edith Wharton

Exquisite






I found these here, via Twitter and @nyplmenus {have you seen this New York Public Library project yet?! ... you should, you really should}, and just wanted to share them with you.  The teacups are crafted from recycled book pages by Swedish artist Cecilia Levy.
