  1. You have some really lovely pieces in your home, a lot are similar to what I have inherited from my mother and this post is a reminder to bring some out and display them from time to time. Unfortunately with a small cottage I don’t have a lot of space to display items.

    As always, your photos are lovely.

    1. Thanks so much Lee! While I appreciate all comments, I’ve come to really respect and appreciate yours, given your own lovely taste level… 🙂

  2. Lory, you have created such beautiful vignettes with your books. I found several old leather bound books, at my parents’ home, that I have yet to display. Many more are just vintage (my mother was a librarian). You have inspired me to work on a few vignettes this week. You have such lovely accents.

  3. I love this post! Old beautiful books are such a treasure. That creamer beside the apple looks like a twin to my sugar container!

  4. I love that you have old family photos mixing with your antiques and treasures, they bring such life to the old volumes~of course the tea cup and the glasses makes you feel like you just missed a conversation…and how you keep your tea set in perfect polish is admirable! Very lovely, I could spend hours exploring your books~

    1. Thanks Jenna!! I actually find other peoples book shelves fascinating. Says so much about a person what they read. In my office I have open shelving and on one side I have really serious books (mostly about history and politics) and the other side is completely vacuous – all about decorating and living a beautiful life! Lol – the two very distinct sides of my personality.

  5. Hi are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the
    blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my
    own. Do you require any html coding expertise to make your own blog?
    Any help would be really appreciated!

  6. Oh my, I could move right into your home and settle back to read a good book!
