I am so so honored -- you know how deep my admiration for you lies. I have Ilse Crawford&#39;s book and love it and now want to get the Sissinghurst book by Sarah Raven and the book on French houses and -- oh, who am I kidding, you make everything sound so enticing that I want ALL of them! I can see that your splendid post is going to cost me a pretty penny! Wishing you all the best, always xxxxLisaLisa Borgnes Giramontihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708026781435832810[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-11665692372191086292014-11-18T09:41:04.409-08:002014-11-18T09:41:04.409-08:00well + I want everyone of these books + missed last weeks list + sure I will want those also. xxpeggybraswelldesign.compeggybraswellhttp://peggybraswelldesign.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-10044746080857059842014-11-18T07:06:02.093-08:002014-11-18T07:06:02.093-08:00Well, the first book you mentioned here arrived YESTERDAY!Cannot wait to sit and GAWK!The second book arrived a week or two ago........and then the VITA book arrived also......they shipped me two instead of one so I suppose I will give one for a gift!THAT MAN who does the FLOWERS in PARIS......I just sat and stared at that photo you showed.......so simple BUT yet so BRILLIANT!I have my WINTER reading stacked up.............PS.You may enjoy my recent POST.Take a peek if you have the time.La Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682902106545680159[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-76514774771225462712014-11-17T22:24:23.114-08:002014-11-17T22:24:23.114-08:00TERRI-<br /><br /><br />I posted you twice.<br />Thank you so much.<br />Yes, between last week…Part 1…and this week…Part 2…there are some great and unusual and unknown books.<br />I always look for books to last a lifetime…and all of these books will be fascinating and lively and important in 50 years.<br />These are all new books--that have not all had a lot of attention (or none…).<br />I hope you love them.

I&#39;m always overjoyed when I read posts of yours like this because (a) I&#39;m fascinated by what you&#39;ve written and (b) I&#39;m so happy that you exist out there in the world. You&#39;re such a great woman enjoying such a rich interior (and exterior) life. You are a mentor on leading a cultured life. <br />I didn&#39;t know you interviewed Christopher Alexander! I read &quot;A Pattern Life&quot; a few years ago. Are those interviews on your blog? It was the first time I&#39;d read such practical and beautiful views on life in a house, and many things I&#39;d felt myself but didn&#39;t have the words for (like light in three sides!!). <br />Oh and that Ilse Crawford book looks so interesting! As, of course, do all the others. <br />My best to you, TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-33717763853505637332014-11-17T20:52:16.177-08:002014-11-17T20:52:16.177-08:00Hi Diane, what a wonderful and diverse list.
