Inspiration found ~

Do you have certain books that you love to pull out,

get cozy and pour over again and again???

I admit it, I LOVE books! I'm not that fond of fiction,
(I can get so wrapped up in them that I get NOTHING done!)

but books filled with the style that I love or that

share techniques and ideas that inspire me.

I thought I'd share a few with you today ~

First, this is an older book but to me, is always beautiful and timeless...

The Serene Home by Eileen Cannon Paulin

I have a few inside shots from previous post that I've

included and believe me, it's wonderful!!

Another beautiful book that I absolutely LOVE is Fifi O'Neill's Romantic Prairie Style!
I love the look of this book, the styling, simply everything....
this one will always be one of my classics.

I need to take a few inside shots for you just to give you an idea

of how wonderful it is!!!

I LOVE this book too...I've shown it to you before but

it's so wonderful, it's worth seeing again!

I took a ton of photos of the inside for you too...

Rediscovered Treasures by Ellen Dyrop and Hanna Kristinsdottir

I have a special fondness for Victoria books...
the old ones and even the new ones.

I bought this gorgeous book a few years ago
and have to share a teeny bit

of the goodness that's inside this one ~

I love going through my old photos...

I don't know if you really love getting repeats but

I never tire of these wonderful old photographs...

vintage graphics from ephemera...

or photos of something beautiful ~

on the ones you want to save!)

and I fixed up a little for you in Photoshop...
