Vintage Blue Book Love…

Hi everyone…

blue books 2 013

 My new obsession are these vintage, French, blue books!

I want the pinks ones too… been searching…i think I may have  found them!!!

I was photographing an amazing, one-of-a-kind boutique the other day, that I will soon

be sharing with you and there they were! Love at first sight.

This vignette is in our family room,  which is adjacent to our

kitchen.  I have not shown this room  yet.

So,  this is a sneak peek!

I have been working out and I am on day 9 of my 12 week trainer.

I feel amazing, mentally and

physically. I am hooked again. I have always been into health and fitness.

I took before photos, Oy vey! Darn baby weight…  I will keep you posted on my progress.

Oh ya, I love Pinterest. Just sayin…

A small favor, please pray for my friend Anne from Fiona & Twig, her mother has fallen very ill,

and Anne is so scared. Your prayer’s will help.

Have a beautiful day!

    Sweet blue books! I have some as well that I adore but they're in English. There is nothing quite as frightening as when a parent is ill. It's never easy when the "backbone" to the family is hurting. My prayers are with Anne and her family, thanks for letting us know!

    Lately I've been picking up various old Books because I love the worn patina they have that look so amazing in vignettes. These Blue ones are lovely!
