The book basket ideas continue, if you want to know what I’m on about the introduction to this idea is here.
Our example: the Parasol Protectorate books
1. Order signed from Borderlands (Definitely get your request in before Dec 15th, that’s the last time I’ll be able to get in to sign stock for them before the holidays.)
2. Source a vintage looking basket, possibly from a local thrift store
3. Fill with accompanying fun items, many of which might also be found at a thrift store
This basket is themed to Changeless and/or Soulless: The Manga, Vol. 2 (the graphic novel adaptation of Changeless.)
Changeless Madame Lefoux Cross-Dressing and/or Scotland themed
- Alternative book option: All Men of Genius (Gail’s interview with the author)
- For nesting: plaid tissue paper or plaid fabric scrap or silly plaid pants
- Great moustaches mug
- Fake mustaches or DIY your own
- Tiny top hat
- Mustache bandages
- Steampunk jewelry
- Steampunk gadget like this DIY Nerf mod
- Scottish breakfast tea
- Shortbread or homemade mustache cake or Scottish oatmeal with raisins scone mix
- Companion book: Steampunk Gear, Gadgets, and Gizmos: A Maker’s Guide to Creating Modern Artifacts
Next up in this blog I’ll do a fantasy book basket idea for Blameless, in the meantime I’m interested in your ideas. Anything you’ve run across that would fit with this theme? Suggestions for good recipes? Other books that might work with this basket?

BOOK DE JOUR!
Soulless: Parasol Protectorate Book 1
PICK YOUR VENDOR!
Alexia Tarabotti, now Lady Woolsey, awakens in the wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, yelling at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears – leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts, and an angry Queen Victoria.

Unfortunately, once opened, the bags of chocolate chips do not last long enough in our house to require a clever way of closing them. But perhaps this works for bags of frozen broccoli?
Ha! I take your point.
