"Palimpsestic." A palimpsest is a manuscript that's been erased or covered over in order to be written on a second (or third or fourth) time. Traces of the original always remain, though. You never know what you'll find when you look beneath the layers.

I am so enthralled with the amazing and unique products in Jenn's shop. Each piece is so beautiful! She is offering winner's choice of a dice unblocker set and a Jane Austen folded book photo/card holder.  Aren't those unblocker dice the greatest?
