Florilegia means"flowers of reading." It was the medieval term for commonplace books. I've written before about keeping a commonplace book, and one of my favorite articles about them can be found here.
My pastor uses his blog as a sort of commonplace, and my friend Becky recently set up a new blog just for recording borrowed words. Then Ink followed suit and encouraged me to do the same.
So, Florilegium is my on-line commonplace "book." It won't replace my pens and paper, but it is a delightful way to share treasured words with others.
With love,
Trisha
