Wondrous Word Wednesday

Wondrous Word Wednesday is a fun meme hosted by Kathy also known as Bermudaonion where you share new words you have run across in your reading. It's a lot of fun so come play along!

This week my words came from The Day The Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan which by the way was an excellent book.

rouleau- a roll of ribbons (I figured it had something to do with yard goods but never would have thought ribbon)

She holds up a delicate tulle, a coil of rouleau, and another of soutache, all of the same luminous gray.

purslane- a trailing Asian weed having small yellow flowers, reddish stems and fleshy leaves that are sometimes cooked or used in salad

Beneath the garden's canopy of foliage, purslane spreads it's weedy tendrils.

crokinole= an action board game similar to carrom or marbles with elements of shuffleboard or curling reduced to table top size (I knew it had to be a game but had no idea it was a board game)

It can happen during a meal, a game of crokinole, or even mid sentence as he speaks.

quoins- a wedge used to anchor other items

The builder had not skimped, and Mother likes to recite the evidence-the raised Quoins of each corner, the hood moldings over each window and door, the keystones cut from single pieces of rock.

What new words did you run across this week? Funny but spellcheck did not like my words.
