April 28, 2010 Part II

Still high off the rush of finding "Frankie," Tonya and I continued on to Common Grounds Coffee Shoppe in Flowery Branch, about a ten minute drive from Oakwood. This was a really neat shop with a "take one/leave one" bookshelf and delicious coffee. Since the clue was only a picture of Wuthering Heights, I figured that I would have to pay a visit to the trusty bookshelf. I perused the shelf as quickly and discreetly as I could, and finally found my query tucked into the far side of one of the shelves all while Tonya ordered us some delicious vanilla lattes from the barista at the counter.

Once I procured the book and we had coffee in hand, we sat down in a corner booth to stamp in. Now, it should be said here that Common Grounds was not a letterbox, so much as it was a letterbook. How cool is a letterbook, you may ask? TOO cool would be the answer. It had a few pages like normal and then a hollowed out trap door where the stamp and logbook were hidden. Tonya and I were so excited to find such a beautiful stamp in such a neat package, especially one that brought us within reach of tasty coffee and a new place to visit!

Below is a picture of the stamp once I colored it in with colored pencils.
