Books and more Books


Chronicle Books is an amazing publishing company! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ogled at their selection of books – even from Kenya! And wished I was qualified for their Design Fellowship! Now they’re giving away the wishlist (up to $500!) of one blogger! And, if I win, you have a chance to win my book selection as well by commenting on this post.

  1. That's a good list! I love the yarn colors you chose for the blanket, they look really good together. I recently bought a huge binder to stick all my inspirations in, I never thought of taking it with me shopping! Good idea. :)
