This Vintage-Looking Vending Machine Dispenses Rare Books For Just $2
A Toronto bookstore has come up with a creative way to add value to old, discount books that otherwise may clutter its storage: an antique-seeming “book dispenser” that randomly spits out old books for $2 a pop.
The Biblio-Mat combines the charm of a gumball machine with the surprise element of a raffle. The machine jumps to life once money’s inserted. With a bit of overt drama—cranking and whirring and ringing that invoke old machinery—the dispenser then releases a used title from its stock, dropping it into a slot for a happy reader to walk away with.

I am having a new contest on my blog about how to draw a capybara. Also trying to get this to go viral like that cat drawing tutorial so feel free to share!
I’m usually not into cowls, but Elderflower is simply too gorgeous to pass up. And the colorway used to knit it is a beautiful cozy cranberry.

Oh but to live in a home with knit walls. The next best thing—knit print wallpaper. Just imagine how cozy it would be!
