Shortly before WriteOn Joliet's anthology release party last week. Cindy surprised me with this box and said she made something for the event.
To my surprise, Cindy had taught herself to crochet mice by watching YouTube videos. So she made a boxful of Bertrand's friends to offer as gifts with select purchases.
If people really wanted a mouse but not books, Rebekah sold them for $10 and donated two Bertrand the Mouse books to our Santa Services campaign.
Cindy said she had lots of fun accessorizing them. As you can see, each little mouse is unique; no two are alike. So we can't promise which ones we have left.
But you can come see for yourself Tuesday at The Book Market in Crest Hill, where Rebekah and I will appear with books (and mice) for the last time in 2023.
We also have a few more Cookie Christmas Trees. These are also a gift with select purchases.
OR, you may purchase one for $10 and we will donate two Bertrand the Mouse books to Santa Services.
Speaking of Santa Services, that campaign ends on Tuesday. We will take the display down when we pack up. But we will be running a second campaign after Christmas for Santa's "other" role.
But that's a surprise for now.
We will be at The Book Market in Crest Hill from 11 a.m. to 3-ish p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 19 (tomorrow).
The Book Market is located at 2365 Plainfield Road in Crest Hill.
Stop out and say, "Hi!" And then browse thousands of other book selections in this treasure trove of a store of new, used, and rare books.
Happy Monday!
