Link Love: It’s Wednesday Already?

This is a “short week” for Americans since many of us had Monday off for Memorial Day. However,  that means that Tuesday feels like Monday and so forth. So, I had a panic moment when I remembered I needed to get Link Love done today. Such creatures of habit, we are.

Link kismet is a lot of purple ink reviews, Kottke also got caught by the eloquence of John Green, and beloved bookstores in NYC and stunning libraries. Lots of travel art supplies and even a travel Filofax. I think we all have the itch to travel this summer. Do you have any travel plans this year?
