Today I found The Goddess Guide by Giselle Scanlon, stacked up with the hardback cookery books. Intriguing, perhaps someone was thinking Nigella? Misplaced I feel, this crosses subjects, visually and inspirationally. I was reeled in by the beautifully patterned and flocked jacket, this little book is like delving into the best scrapbook for girls on life, I want one!

Amazon says 'As sumptuous and approachable as a glossy magazine, this gorgeous style-bible is both fixer and facilitator - destined to be your new best friend, personal, trend-setting concierge and ultimate Goddess Guide.' Chapters have embroidered titles by Hand and Lock, so many hand-made touches, inspired photography and travel writing.

Rose Scented Madelelaines from the vintage wonder that is Brocante Home, discovered in my knitting search yesterday.

Funnily enough I received that book yesterday from Amazon, I bought it jointly with The Dangerous book for boys. Anniversary presents for me and my man. Both hours of fun reading. Treat yourself, if for cover only. x
