for the love of books and blooms

  

el dia de la rosa...y por amor...
a little belated for wishing all a lovely Sant Jordi day [April 23rd] dedicated to St. George the patron saint of Catalonia - and a combo St. Valentine's and Mother's Day...roses for mothers, wives and girlfriends and books in return to fathers, husbands and boyfriends...
el dia del llibre is also in remembrance of Cervantes who died on this day in 1616...
