I own an antiquarian bookshop with my husband, Jon, named Munster & Company, coach my kids soccer team, am a Girl Scout Leader, a member of our schools PTA, on the Corvallis School District Budget Committee, and do bookkeeping and upholstery on the side.
From Jon:
Happy International Women's Day! Today we're working on a rather exceptional recent arrival that has brought our attention to the importance of women in science.

Jon is just finishing up working on a sammelband of ten 18th century publications including this piece that explores whether it is legal to...umm... assist in shuffling a tyrant off the old mortal coil, so to speak.

How festive.

Today's challenge in staycation entertainment while Jon was at work was to teach the kids, and Nana, Hobbs's rules dominos on my Grandparents' old set. Lots of great memories. Now it is Charlotte and Oliver's turn to skunk us.

Published by the Winslow Brothers Foundry 'Ornamental Iron: A Journal of Industrial Art' bi-monthly from 1893 to 1895, and each issue featured drawings and black and white photographs of their work, which included everything from ornate stair railings to storefront canopies to elevator enclosures.

We found the original 100+ year old growth fir flooring under the old carpet! Day 1 of demo has gone well! 😍

The first bit of carpet and particle board has been pulled, and underneath is 100+ year old growth fir floors with loads of character and potential. 😍

Our dumpster is here! We are excited for this old carpet to be gone. Fingers crossed for what we find underneath!

This week in the bookshop we worked on some of the finer details, tomorrow we start packing away those finer details and start ripping out our old raggedy carpet. We will keep selling books through Munsterbooks.com while we work, so please keep supporting us! Open shop finally coming this Spring!
