I like to commit my Monday's to artistic tutorials and ideas. So this one channels my nerdy obsession with art history books! My dear friend Amanda has been talking about taking a trip to Harrisburg to peruse some amazing books and drink some coffee. Sounds like a lovely afternoon to me! Today we both finally had a free afternoon to make it!
Amanda!
This magical coffee shop/gallery/ creative book shop is called the Midtown Scholar Bookstore (http://www.midtownscholar.com/) and it is definitely worth a few afternoons! Now that this place has entered my life I plan on going back as often as I can!
I love local art!
And I even found this!
The reason Amanda wanted to bring me here was because they have a marvelous art history section that spanned shelves and shelves and will probably take me years to pick through, but I don't mind. I got myself a large cup of jasmine green tea, in an adorable ceramic mug made by a local artist, and filled my arms with books on Turner, Kahlo, Klimt, and Cy Twombly. Amanda met me back at our table with her handful and we spent hours comparing methods, paintings, and lives.
I love figure drawing! I found this in a book on Gustav Klimt
I even found this incredible family photo album from 1901!
Basically, this place contains many of my favorite things: Tea, coffee, books, art, and even a few dogs :)
Can't wait to make another trip back!
I hope everyone has a happy Monday!
Jen
