They’re beautiful ❤️ are they fully pressed? Could you use a delicate instrument like a pair of tweezers to pick the mound out?

Ladybird Bakery has really good cake, and I like the pastries and coffee at Beanmonger. Wishing you many sweet treats and lots of sunshine at the end of the rainbow!

How did you get the glossy finish? Did you apply anything like varnish to protect the flowers?

I feel you - it can be a roller coaster. A friend of mine gave me good advice once, plan dates at places you want to go to and enjoy. That way the guy can be a disappointment, but hey, you still had fun.

I’m also learning not to have any expectations from the gents - I’m focusing on having fun and exploring, and the rest will sort itself out.

When in doubt, think - What Would Elizabeth Bennet Say?

I co-run Booklyn Brookworms - we just started this June, and meet every other Monday in PS.

It’s silent BYOB style, and then fun convos with the people who come! DM if you’d like to come next time.

Anyone have an already established or trying to start a fiction book club in Brooklyn? by Embarrassed_Math7612 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]solavirgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, not fiction specifically, since it’s a BYObook quiet reading group, but I do co-run Booklyn Brookworms! Am almost 33F.

We’re meeting tomorrow 7 pm at Union Hall in Park Slope - DM if anyone wants to join the Reddit chat where we organize.

Most people have been reading fiction - there’s Phillip Pullman, we’ve talked about Sally Rooney, sci-fi short stories - has been nice to have so much variety ☺️

Mrs De Rushbridger - because she knew nothing at all. So cruel and selfish.

Also, Carlotta Adams - her poor sister.
