Introduction: welcome to the Firemouse blog.

Firemouse will feature art, crafts (both fine and domestic), music, words, and literature. I have the OED on my hard disk and I'm not afraid to use it.

Along with news, links and commentary, I will be offering custom t-shirts, gifts and housewares featuring uncommon vintage images in the above subject areas through CafePress.com, using images from my extensive personal collection of rare books, prints, and artifacts. In the future I will be offering collectible and rare books on all those topics and more.
