WHO LIKES "OLD" BOOKS???



I just realized that I have reached 25 posts!!!! It seems that a lot of bloggers like to have give-aways to celebrate these achievements. Ok, so it’s not 100 but I have to get rid of some of these books I have. I also would like to get rid of all of my decorating magazines from the last ten years, but I can’t part with them.

So, the first 2 people who comment get to pick one of these books for their very own. I will happily send them off to your beautiful homes.

Hopefully you actually might be interested in one of these:



Laura Ashley Complete Guide to Home Decorating
Laura Ashley at Home
Country Garden Planner
The Comfortable Home
The Romance of Country Inns
Home Landscaping
Easy Roses
Arbors & Trellises
Mary Engelbreit’s Outdoor Companion
Rachel Ashwell-Shabby Shic
Rachel Ashwell’s Treasure Hunting Guide
Mary Emmerling’s American Country Cottages
Decoratve Painting for the Home
Growing Herbs

Ready ---set---comment!

Hi Linda Lou! Well I think I could trade with you! I have a bunch too!! But, sentimentally, i remember seeing the ME outdoor companion...and having lots of little kidlets (4) enjoying a Barnes and Noble in a "big city" (we lived in a very remote, very beautiful part of the country where a grocery store trip was a half of an hour one way)...we were visiting our closest friends...they were happy reading and pouring over their books, And I was enthralled by that one!

You know how you remember certain things...well seeing that in the list just brought it all back! Right now two of those little kidlets are in college, the other two in HS!!!!

I'll let the next people that DON'T have a slew of books take my place, Linda.

I mainly came over to say Hey...then got caught in a blast from the past!

And...Thanks for that!!
