Simple Savoir-Faire

As a child, I was very visual. Arithmetic and dodgeball were not really my forte. If I had it my way, I would have spent all day in art class. My favorite books were Babar the Elephant and anything illustrated by Graeme Base. I basically wanted to live in Babar's house and invite all the animals from Graeme Base books over for tea and dress up. At work yesterday, while researching Spring 2011 trends, I remembered how much fun I had sitting in my dad's library inventing stories for all the characters in my head. After work, I called my mom and had her dig them up for me. She couldn't find the Babar books but hopefully they will turn up. Below are images from the Graeme Base books I own and obsess over.
