The Scheepjes CAL and Read-A-Long for 2020 is here!
Designer Christina Hadderingh says, “During this CAL and Read-A-Long I plan to take you on a journey through the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle of Paris, France. To start, you will wander through the Jardin des Plantes, complete with its luscious herbs, medicinal plants and enormous hedges, followed by a peek inside the many cabinets and drawers filled with butterflies and bees lining the walls of the Galerie d’Entomologie. Afterwards, we’ll visit the Galerie de Botanique to observe old herbarium sheets covered in the most fascinating scientific drawings of plants and flowers, before moving on to gaze at the many dazzling gems and crystals to be found in the Galerie de Minéralogie et Géologie. To end the journey, we’ll marvel at the grand procession of animals on display in the Grande Galerie de l’Evolution and walk past glass cases full of ancient fossils in the Galerie de Paleontologie.”
ABOUT CHRISTINA HADDERINGH Ever since she started crafting roughly 10 years ago, Dutch blogger Christina can’t see herself living without crochet or knitting. Armed with her trusty crochet hook and her cat Poose by her side, she is ready to sit down, daydream a little, and create gorgeous designs. She finds inspiration all around her but especially in nature and books. Read more about Christina on her blog.

Book Club Sunday To encourage participants to take part in the Read-A-Long aspect of the CAL, Scheepjes and Christina are hosting weekly Book Club Sunday meet-ups via the Official Scheepjes Facebook Group, where they are thrilled to be sharing unique interview footage from none other than the author of All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr. Each week of this CAL, a video will be released containing short interviews that engages with the Book Club Sunday reading material for the week to come.
