What is the thing that has become the bible of your art/craft?

Hello everyone! There's been some things that I've had to focus on, and therefor haven't been writing for a while. I have got a summer job during weekends over the summer, so I sort of work everyday - not the whole days though, thankfully. There are other things as well, but I have to get back to them - when they pop up in my mind.
Anyway, here's some scribbles at least:

This month's question in the BlogMerryGoRound:
What is your favorite publication(s)? Is there a book, books, magazine,
or website that has become the bible of your art/craft?

I have a few things that I seem to return to when it comes to finding inspiration in general, and a lot of times it is such things that gives me energy. Not neccessarily inspire me to make things - although that often follows.. I'll just line them up, shall I? :)

Magazines:
These are the ones I find lots of inspiration in, and look through over and over again.
Country Living (UK edition)
Selvedge
Sublime
Boho

Books:
Tasha Tudor's Garden

Brambly Hedge

Art & People
Arthur Rackham
Edmund Dulac
William Morris

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood

Movies and TV:

Pride and Prejudice - 1995, 2005,
Sense and Sensibility
(These are all Jane Austen of course.. I like all of these, although it was the earlier ones that are like old friends by now...)

This week's ambush..

... was on BeadBug Jewelry so I thought I'd show some of her lovely stuff:

I got ambushed!

Almost forgot to tell you the event of the day.. Nay, year! :)
I got ambushed by the sneakers/stalkers!! It's a group of people who promote others. This time it was me!! I am still amazed, surprised and jolly. It brought me 5 sales and lots of promotion, which I am planning on returning to all the others as soon as possible! Like next Tuesday when the next lucky person is up.
There's an ArtFire Guild - the Stalkers, but anyone can join the ning group - ArtFire Sneakers.

The Stalkers Guild Mission says it all:

"Our mission is the shameless and selfless promotion… of others. We employ the ideal of paying it forward and utilizing our stalking prowess for the advancement of Artfire artisans and the handmade movement. Through the promotion of all we will succeed."

Isn't that brilliant!

I'm off to bed

HandMade News

I just thought I'd yell about HandMade News (published by ArtFire), which is a great place to find facts and inspiration. It's 'News of the handmade world, or just the crafts in it' :)
Right now I am reading this article by NinjaJenn
