Old Books

Don't you just love old books?

I can't tell if it is just the old covers, or the smell, or the wonder of who used to own them, or thinking about how many times they have been read - but they intrigue me.

But I do know that I like to use them in vignettes around the house!

Do you think that people will use Kindles as decorating props in the future ?

A few surprises...

This week I received a few surprises in the mail. The first was from Andrea of Needle Notes. Andrea sent me a few cute necklace charms she made - this one is a reminder that February is "wear red" month:

My second surprise was from BJ from Sweet Nothings. I won a bag in one of her recent giveaways. It arrived wrapped in cute tissue from Home a la Mode. I was expecting a small handbag....

But, a large tote bag arrived. This will be perfect for day trips - it has so many compartments and zippered sections - and I LOVE it!

So, lucky me!

Enjoy your day!
