It was love at first sight when I saw these brightly colored, whimsical literary note cards created by Veronica at Paper Dali. Maybe its just that some of my very favorite authors made the cut — Poe, O’Connor, Austen, Bronte…… (sigh).

I thought it would be fun to attach one of these little cards to a book by the same author as a lovely Valentine’s Day — or anytime — gift. Cut up and attached to card stock, they’d make great book marks for a book group or class of literature/creative writing students. Or maybe matte and frame the entire sheet and use it to add a little literary bling to that “room of your own” you’ve been meaning to fix up — that’s what I’m going to do with mine!
While browsing Veronica’s site, I also found this poster and was simply charmed. I remember day-dreaming about Heathcliff way back in the day……. Who am I kidding? I still do! If you’ve got a daughter or other young lady in your life who dreams of finding a real-life Mr. Darcy, you might consider making her a gift of this unique literary wall art. Beats those Tiger Beat Justin Bieber posters hands-down, right?
Cheers! 
Reblogged this on one tiny violet and commented:
I just put this up on my Persephone Writes blog, but also wanted to share it here on one tiny violet because the drawings are simply lovely. To those of you who read both my blogs, I apologize for the double-take!
They are lovely Angela, what a great thought. Thanks so much! Ruth
Thanks for stopping by, Ruth. Happy New Year! I hope you are well.
We’ll chat soon.
Angela,
Thanks so much for sharing my drawings… It was a fun way to combine my love of books and my love of drawing.
I didn’t get to Tolkien or C.S. Lewis or … or… See, so many other folks? I might make a part 2.
I also printed out the valentine/note cards and stuck it in a frame, so my favorite authors are decorating my wall.
Lots of possibilities!
I definitely think there needs to be a Part 2!! You go girl! And thanks for sharing your gifts with the world.
