That lightning can be so dangerous. <br /><br />So nice to be able to catch up and see a lovely book, the photos are gorgeous.

One beautiful-to-look-at book I bought recently is "A Proper Tea" by Joanna Isles. It contains some good information, and wonderful ideas for themed teas, but her water color illustrations are what really sold me on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-65858093649786150052011-08-03T21:15:10.786-04:002011-08-03T21:15:10.786-04:00That is a lovely book.

I saw it in the new section at the library and had to bring it home to ooh and ahh over. I can't sew but my Mom is going to give me my grandmother's vintage hankies and I think I'll use some of them in the Easter shadowboxes I'm making for her and my sister.Beth Ranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175676172638266075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-62686457703809365692011-08-03T19:14:12.673-04:002011-08-03T19:14:12.673-04:00Angela, One of my favorite books is On Women &...Angela, One of my favorite books is On Women & Friendship(Starr Ockenga) and I love all of Susan Branch!ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-14889509197616015502011-08-03T17:53:45.302-04:002011-08-03T17:53:45.302-04:00Oh my!

(I know there is a place for the electronic readers, but a beautiful book can not be savored in this mode!) This book is one that I would want to hold!<br /><br />My favorite pretty book is "The Love of Lace" by Cynthia Hart and Catherine Calvert. The book jacket is even a feast, made of vellum to resemble lace, it is just a wonderful preview of the exquisite laces you will encounter in its pages. As a former designer of wedding gowns, this book for me is a visual delight.amherstrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770869900528472512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-35995933827262566862011-08-03T11:18:05.755-04:002011-08-03T11:18:05.755-04:00What a great find!

For book inspiration: this summer I finally bought my own copy of The Gentle Art of Domesticity by Jane Brocket, after checking it out of the library several times. This book doesn't necessarily picture elegant home life, but cheerful, cozy times at home.jemilyeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346405005765603380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-31799595412890070792011-08-03T08:30:41.736-04:002011-08-03T08:30:41.736-04:00That does look like a great book - lots of gorgeou...That does look like a great book - lots of gorgeous photos. The cover is a dazzling blue - no wonder they use it as their signature color. <br /><br />Table Settings by Victoria is an older book (2002), but it is a tea lovers dream (and very pretty).parTea ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106196613047314184noreply@blogger.com
