Although it's already April I have a Book Club update for March. Do you mind if I alter the date so that I can keep it organized in my archives? I've made a Book Club archive menu on your right just under Blog Archives.

These are the books I bought in March:


1. The Princess and the Pea - Lauren Child

I saw this book over at Blair first. I totally fell in love with the images she posted and was very excited that everything was made in miniature - dear the concentration one must have. Blair mailed me and told me to get it. I did and I love it, we all love it here. The colors, the patterns, the miniature furniture, everything is correct in the smallest details (literally) I also love the writing in this book, it's really sweet. I totally recommend this to all!! If you like interior design (like me) and don't have kids (like me) than this book is wonderful too. There's so much to it. Put it on your wishlist!!




2. Creating Vintage Style - Lucinda Ganderton

I heard and read so much about this book so I finally bought a copy. It's great (ish) You know, most of the images in this book are found in other design books I own and it's getting a bit of a bore. I need new inspiration and new interiors to look at. Sometimes I caught myself knowing exactly the name of the person who lives in a certain room in a certain picture and I think that's sad ... LOL!! But the tips, hints and tricks in this books are really useful and enjoyable. So I DO recommend this book. But if you want something that guides you to create a vintage style and you don't want to spend too much money on too many books (like me - sorry Bo) I'd recommend to get the Cath Kidston book instead.



3. Just a tip for people living in The Netherlands - get this month's Elle Tuinen, it's wonderful!!
