Four Fanciful Things

Four Fanciful Things. That would just tickle my fancy to have.

Some I will, some I won't but they are still fanciful!

As you well know, if you are a regular reader of my blog or know me personally, I am a library book nerd. I like to be able to put my hands on what I am reading. I enjoy requesting certain books and the wait involved while some sweet library soul delivers the books to the Goodlettsville location and my trip there each week to return books and pick up new ones. I always have a book bag stuffed to the gills with children's books for the DC and inspirational books for me along with one to read before bed. I wish to share some of them with you on a weekly basis. You may be a library person yourself, or maybe one who downloads books to your iPad or whatever you have. Either way I come across some good ones that really tickle my fancy and just might tickle yours too!

Today I am sharing a home decorating inspiration publication. One that kept me glued to it for over an hour last night. This week's book is called:

Shabby Chic Inspirations and Beautiful Spaces

By: Rachel Ashwell

Published Date: 2011

I love this book. One thing I especially like is that the author has picked existing spaces to feature of people that she already knows, and has gone into their worlds. Some very talented people might I add with beautiful, inspiring homes. The pictures are gorgeous and she talks about each one with good detail. They each show the owner's personality very well and offer wonderful ideas for decorating your own space.

Checked Out Rating: 10

Books like this are fun to look at and make me want to put up a cabbage rose shower curtain in the horse bathroom. Sometimes I flip through a decorating book very fast and other times I get completely sucked in by the detail in pictures and ideas that they plant.

Laugh and Cry Inspiration

Today I want to share two videos with you. One made me cry the other made me laugh.

They are both inspiring in some way.

I don't know if these were set up actors and actresses or not. The listeners seemed really humbled by what their friend's, mother's and children has to say to them.

I found this video posted on a blog that I follow called Kind Over Matter.

I like to stop by to get some personal inspiration.

This guy has great form and doesn't care who is looking. I love it!

Enjoy! XO Laurie

Local Spotlight: Willow Tree Cottage

While visiting our new favorite thrift in Goodlettsville, my sister Mary Evelyn and I came across a new favorite shop called "Willow Tree Cottage, A Vintage Marketplace" in Goodlettsville. This shop offers vintage items, housewares, cleverly done up cycled furniture and French soaps! You can't beat all that! We walked from room to room falling in love with the decorating and the smell of locally made coffee that they sell. The gals there are super nice and very talented.
