HOOK: window dressing
Bland and boring, NO MORE! You can dress up your blinds; crochet your favorite edging, gigantic style, in worsted weight, and hang it with a few binder clips and twist-tie "hooks."

BOOK! A witchy classic
The Witch Family: One of my all-time favorites. I'm about to Kindle this from Amazon, and kindle some nostalgia, as well. This is the Harry Potter of its day, hefty enough to keep the kids enthralled at 240 pages. Check out some of the phenomenal illustrations here.
