The first I'd like to share is titled, "Putting the Heart in Your Home" by Jean LemMon~
This book is warm with gorgeous indoor and outdoor pictures and inspirations for the comforts and ideas to enhance our homes. With categories for moods to relax and create.
Just look at these gorgeous inside pages. It was hard to choose just a few for now. This book graces my coffee table and wonderful to pick up at anytime and learn something new.
Another favorite is Nell Hill's " Feather Your Nest" It's All in the Details, by Mary Carol Garrity
Filled with comfort yet elegant, soothing and tasteful. Each page is chock full of ideas and reads like a story. Brings you in and relates through style and details. Like the cover says, It's All in the Details!
Here are a few inside pages.
I have barely scratched the surface to the wonderful pages in these 2 books. If you have them, you already know what I mean. If not, I know you would enjoy these two titles.

Good morning, sweet Celeste! What wonderful and inspirational books, and those photos!!
Congratulation on your latest award! It is well deserved for all the time and devotion and effort you put into your beautiful blog!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Celestina!
I'm so honored you would think me worthy of an award! I can't thank you enough!! It really touches my heart.
I'm glad you liked my little fairy post. My son is so talented! I am what I call a "copy artist". Show it to me and I may be able to do it. Russ is a "true artist", it flows from his mind and heart to whatever media he choses. I love his ability!
Your book post is wonderful! I just bought a wonderful decorating book for my coffee table and I think I will follow in your steps and do a post on it soon if you don't mind. I also went to the book mobile! It stopped in my neighborhood every 2 wks and I would ride my bike to the boulevard where it parked. I would chose a book and put it in my basket and peddle home to read. My favorite book was Sandy and the Balloons. What great memories... Thank you!!! Hugs, Sherry
Celeste!
Thank-you so very much for the award and you surely deserved yours!!
I love visiting you and am so happy to have found your blog this year.
The book idea is really neat. I also love decorating books among so many others and this is a great way to share!
Blessings!

Hi Celeste,
Congrats on your award and thank you so much for thinking of me. I will make sure I pass it on. Those books looks so pretty, thanks for sharing them. Thanks again for the award and I hope you have a great weekend!!
Hi Celestina
I used to visit the bookmobile when I was young too. Thanks for sharing these beautiful books with us. Congratulations on the award too.
HUgs, Rhondi
What lovely books. Congrats on your award. You certainly do deserve it. I always enjoy reading your posts and I enjoy your visits/comments on my blog, as well.
Beautiful books Celestina...I love home decor books and magazines...mostly magazines I would say, they are an addiction. I've gotten to clipping pages out of the older ones, so I"m not saving magazines that are years old. Like I said, definately an addiction.
Hi Celeste!
Thank you for the book reviews! I have Feather Your Nest, but the other one looks really enjoyable. I think I just might have to get that one!
Congrats on the award...you deserve it..

Celeste, Just wanted to personally thank you for thoughts while I was down and out. Thank you so much! Books are my weakness and my pleasure so I will be looking forward to your reviews. (Drat, *I* was planning to pass the same award on to you and you've already received it.) Congratulations!
Devonia

What a beautiful post, Celeste. The books look wonderful, great pictures. Stay cool!
My oldest daughter, I am so excited will be visiting me pretty soon, when she was a little girl loved ballerina shoes. And so the picture reminds me of her as a little girl. And the quilts and roses remind me of mom. she loved having both. and I love pink roses too. You have a very lovely blog. thanks .
Thank YOU, Celeste for passing onto me this precious award....I guess is never too late to give THANKS.... please accept my gratitude from the bottom of my heart.
Whishing you the sweetest evening...
