Vintage Book Swap

I'm contemplating hosting of a vintage book swap through Compulsively Compiled either a one time holiday exchange or a type of pen pal arrangement between readers. If you think you might be interested, leave a comment. If there's enough interest, we'll work out details and move forward with it...

Weekend

It's been a long, lazy weekend here after "turkey day" and I am grateful for that. I've been needing a bit of a break. I hope that each of your weekends were equally as perfect.

Note to Self

Don't pass up another shadeless, free standing lamp at the thrift store. . . buy it, spray paint it and add a pretty bulb. Perfect.

Formality

I love the formality of potted boxwood. I like them even more when they are juxtaposed in an overgrown cottage type garden, which is what I intend to do with them in my yard someday.

For the Table

I love the simplicity of this table from Sunday Suppers for a Thanksgiving table, the flower arrangements are a perfect height for conversation across the table and I just know that the craft paper be covered with hand/turkeys by the end of dinner which could only mean that everyone was having a great time.

Undecorate

Undecorate: The No-Rules Approach to Interior Design is high on my list of books to cozy up with soon. The idea or a lived in kind of home definitely appeals to my sense of what the meaning of home really is.

Obsession

I am infatuated with old books. I have love the idea that others have shared in the experience of reading the very book that I am. Some of the titles I've purchased for myself lately have gotten me thinking about how much fun it would be to exchange vintage books as holiday gifts. There are so many of them to be found at such great prices and of all genres that it could really be exciting in how personalized the selections can be for each recipient.

I love this look for this time of year, when fall is just beginning; the morning are chilly and the afternoons are just about perfect.

Sunday

As it's Sunday, food was one of the few things on the agenda in our house today. We ended up with a theme somehow with French Onion Soup and  a French Apple Tart. It was a good day.

Form & Function

Love this calendar by Paper Theives! Once the year is past and the calendar pages have been torn away, you are left with a shield shaped bulletin board; a fantastic idea. Find it here.
