I love wonderful books. Not so much novels and fiction but the intructional kind of books. The books that teach you how to create certain things or show you ideas how to display your flea market goodies.
I'll admit it too, I have a ton of them. Most have been purchased on ebay, or at discount stores such as Ross or Tuesday morning. Some have been found at Amazon too. I'm always looking for a new one and always looking for a great price.
We've been preparing for Brent and Emily's arrival this next week, shifting things around abit to make them comfortable and give them plenty of room. As I'm glancing over my bookcase, for no particular reason, I noticed a book that I had totally forgotten about!!! Look at the precious ideas inside ~ the author is French and it's really evident in the elegant and simple projects.
After the holidays I am going to try so hard to complete a few goodies for our new granddaughter....
I finally hung up the Advent calendar that I made for Somerset ~ I'm not taking the ornaments off though.....we're just enjoying it the way it is, kind of like a piece of artwork.
I came across a beautiful Christmas card that I had to scan for you ~ I love the typestyle used! Left click to enlarge and right click to save to your computer ~
We still have a busy few days ahead of us this week with the kids moving home ~ but we'll be ready!! I hope that your day is a wonderful one, try to take the time to do something you love ~
xxoo, Dawn

Dawn,
Too busy to get on for a few days and look at all these new and wonderful things!!
Of course i love white and cream buttons, and old jars, so a definite winner on that! =0)
And the book is precious. We have our 5th grand baby due the 19th, so busy with a Christmas stocking for the unknown little person. (no gender revealed in advance). I make wool stockings for them and embroider their name at the top.
Have fun with all those great finds. I'm off to finish painting a Christmas box order.
