Convivio Bookworks

Full moon swim.

Total excitement at Convivio Bookworks over our first ever writing workshop! It’s with one of our favorite people in the literary world, Cricket Freeman. Spend Saturday September 19 with us (we’ll even feed you) and emerge a better writer. Details & registration at the WORKSHOPS link at https://conviviocatalog.conviviobookworks.com/.

Birthday Month so far. It’s been an interesting time. Lots of times lately I wake up and say, “Oh, here I am.”

On the blog today: It’s the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and Mom’s Name Day—her Onomastico. We have to pull her earlobes: https://www.conviviobookworks.com/blog/our-lady-of-mount-carmel/.

Our next Convivio Cookery workshop is RICOTTA GNOCCHI. It’s a recipe for a lighter gnocchi from Grandma’s friend, Adeline. The secret? Fresh ricotta in the dough, instead of potatoes. Delicious and delightful! In the shop on Grandma’s birthday: Saturday August 15. Details & registration at the WORKSHOPS tab at https://conviviocatalog.conviviobookworks.com/.

Join us Sunday July 12 from 1 to 4 PM at the shop: we’re hosting the Noise Brunch. It’s not brunch, but it is an afternoon of experimental music and sound moving between silence and noise. The shop will be open, too, for eclectic (and most likely noisy) shopping. Free!

It’s July and your Convivio Book of Days calendar for the month awaits at https://www.conviviobookworks.com/blog/the-dog-days-or-your-convivio-book-of-days-for-july/. Our monthly gift to you is, as usual, a printable PDF that you may post to your bulletin board or set upon your desk. Cover star: a 1904 penny postcard from Germany, celebrating (or perhaps lamenting) the arrival of the Dog Days of Summer; they begin July 3 and run to August 11. Stay cool!

We’ve just added two new workshops to our summer schedule: RICOTTA GNOCCHI with the Cutrone Family on Saturday August 15 and our first writers’ workshop: TRUE STORIES CLEVERLY TOLD: Exploring Creative Nonfiction for Narrative, Essay, & Memoir with one of our favorite folks in the literary world, Cricket Freeman.

Two more photos from last weekend’s Midsummer Solstice Market on this Midsummer Eve. It’s St. John’s Eve tonight: the night of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. Glad Midsommar!
