PRETTY BOOK COVERS......

Full Of Shabby Chic Charm......

1930s Vintage Wallpaper......



Retro Union Jack......



Very Jane Austen......

Vintage Roses And Burlap......

 I love vintage books with a passion and my current favorites can be found HERE.  Inspired by these beautiful covers I have designed some of my own to use when decorating some of my more mundane paperbacks.

These book covers add a certain charm to tired old books and I cannot wait to begin dressing up my old library of books.  These take me back to my school days in England when we had to cover our school books with brown paper and put our name on the front.  These would look so much prettier!

I hope that you love them as much as I do.  I know that this is not a new idea but I wanted to put a different spin on an old tradition, have fun!

THE LOVE OF VINTAGE BOOKS......

One thing I love more than anything is vintage books and I cannot go past a shop that stocks them without popping inside to see what is on offer.  I was so lucky a few months ago and was able to buy these beautiful books.  The papers and details on the cover are truly wonderful and could not have more shabby chic charm if they tried.

These books are all around 90 years old and I know I will happily sit down in a cozy corner and read them.  When a book is as pretty as these are it just gives them so much more charm and appeal.  I currently have these in one of my guest bedrooms on the bedside cabinet.  Set there ready for someone to open them up and dive into another world.

Like most people today I do have an iPad and I love it!  I must admit it is one of my great joys to read a new book on my Kindle app.  The convenience is wonderful but it still cannot beat that musty smell that comes from a well read and well loved book.  There is truly nothing like it in the world!



WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT COCONUT OIL YEARS AGO......

Coconut Oil and Alheimer's


My husband and I have begun a new regime in regards to taking care of ourselves and trying to live a healthier lifestyle.  One of the major changes is that we are juicing everyday and also taking Coconut Oil as part of our new regime change!  Take a peek at the link below as to why we are now using Coconut Oil every day!

I'M BACK IN THE USA!......

Up, Up and away!

On the 23rd of June I took off with my brother for London Heathrow airport on Virgin Atlantic flight V 006.  This was an historical flight for us both because it had been years since we were to be together for a prolonged period of time.  I am happy to say that there was no significant blood loss and both parties remained civil and in our respective corners of the ring!  All joking appart we had the BEST time together and had a wonderful two weeks of each other's company which was fantastic.  I can honestly not remember how long ago that it was that we had been able to spend so much time together.  At least thirty years!
