I was looking for inspiration so I went to the book store and found tons of wonderful books. I must start dropping hints to everyone before my birthday which luckily is in July I promised myself I will get them all....
Here is my list:
The farmhouse - by Jean Rehkamp Larson, a beautiful book about the classic American icon in many versions from funky to classic, and my dream house is in there too.
Flea market style- by Emily Chalmers, this book is amazing it really made my mouth water, it's just my style!
Cath Kidston's in print, prettiest book ever,great ideas for using vintage fabrics.
The Crafter's Companion, some of my favorite crafters and blogs are in this book.
Sublime stitching, great embroidery transfers for great easy projects.
Amy Butler's in stitches, A Wonderful idea book full of inspirational photos and projects.
So instead of working, I roam around book stores and have lattes, but it's so sunny, it's spring and what is more beautiful then a sunny spring day in Burlington Vermont?
Oh well ,definitely my idea of a fun day! I just wish my sister was here!
Maybe I'll work tomorrow....?!
Hope you got all of these last month! Flea Market Style is one of my favorite decorating books. I also own In Stitches and The Crafter's Companion--both great!
