Hello everyone!
I hope you are all having a great week.
I have a number of things to share with you in this post....
So be prepared it is very random....
I used a picture of dried lavender to try and break up each topic....
First off...
I received this french mustard jar in the mail last week from a good friend....
It was the inspiration behind my mantle redo.
I just love this sweet little jar!
I will have more pictures of my mantle on my blog next week, along with some other fall decorating pictures.
Tracey's online shop....
The book is called Lev Vackert.
Both girls have beautiful blogs....
Ingela is the author of the blog Inspiration I Vitt, and Petra is the author of the blog Ramantiskahem.
It is really a beautiful book.
It is almost 200 pages long, and is filled with so many decorating ideas.
My friend Aina, from Modern Country, is featured in the book as well.
Congratulations Aina, your home is beautiful!
The book can be purchased in the U.S. at French Larkspur.com
The magazine I bought from Tracey is called Jeanne D' Arc Living.
I only discovered this magazine last spring.
I have been hooked ever since.
This fall issue I think is my favorite issue.
It is filled with beautiful fall decorating ideas.

She has the most beautiful home.

On a final note...

They are giving away a pair of their handmade wellington boot socks.
They are knitted in England from organic wool from sheep raised on the H.R.H.

Don't you just love Cabbages and Roses!

If you ever come across the book have a look in it. it is called franske stemninger ;)
