I love pulling into my driveway and seeing that Amazon box on my doorstep. This time I got four great books that I am looking forward to perusing when I get a moment.
The colors in Jane Brocket’s The Gentle Art of Domesticity are amazing and make me so excited for the warmth of summer.
From my Mother’s Kitchen is a collection of simple comfort foods that look so good, especially the smoky sausage and bean casserole. I love a good hot dish.
Because I am so excited about getting back into sewing, I got Heather Ross’s Weekend Sewing. That and the fact that I have enough of the beautiful orange fabric on the front of the book to actually make the skirt. There are lots of cute projects for little ones (bloomers!) and great patterns for momma clothes, especially the kimono dress which should be good for nursing a babe.
A Year of Mornings is for pure inspiration. I love the calmness and simplicity of the images- they are little bits of breathing room and make me want to get better at photography.
Alas, no reading for me as this is what my kitchen table looks like at the moment and it is a good indicator of the state of the rest of my house. I would like to clean and read but kissing baby toes always comes first.
How could you not , especially when one sock always seems to disappear leaving them ripe for the smooching?
What a pretty pretty baby. You’re so right, that little foot there just looks so sweet.
