26: Tarry With Me Awhile and Wait…

Shownotes

Sleepy Hollow, part 1!

The entire “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” has been re-recorded and remastered and, along with a few other Halloweenie kinds of stories, appears in the Crafting-a-Life Shoppe.


Learn the origins of the name “Tarrytown”
as you
listen to Geoffrey Crayon’s Sketchbook.

You should also check out Diedrich Knickerbocker’s History of New York!

sunny side Irving
Meet my man Irving (aka “Mr. Knickerbocker”…).

Washington Irving Sunnyside
And his spectacularly (self-)designed home on the Hudson.

Someday plan to take advantage of the Legend.

Kindred Hudson River School
Imagine yourself as part of the Hudson River School which I had no time to talk about but will try to get to next week.

And a little on the Mather Boys, Increase and Cotton (who NAMES these people?!) and their attitudes towards Witchcraft.
Here’s Cotton:

The DomiKNITtrix’s spectacularly appropriate skull pattern (which is free for a bit longer).

A non-Socks-That-Rock club–NAYY but it looks nice!

And a nice theory/site for socks. They’re gorgeous and there’s something about not-quite-matched socks that appeals to the eccentric in me…
“Mismatched with Care in Vermont”
I love that.


And once again

Thank you Heidi for goodie box! My 2-1/2 year old must march every day to “76 Trombones”. Thank you so much!

Book talk begins at 15:20. Listen to 26 audio.

HELLO!

I’m Heather Ordover

Hi there and welcome!
I'm glad you found our little corner of the internet. It's a safe place to hang out, listen to a good book, and maybe get a little crafty while you do.
CraftLit has been going (almost) weekly since 2006 so we have quite a few books in our Library for you. If one isn't to your liking, I'm sure you'll find another that is.
Relax and let your ears do the reading for a bit.
