ok, i was by myself. but i still had a nice long walk on the beach.
the overcast skies cleared out later in the afternoon and i thought i better take advantage of it. seems like ALL i’ve done is complain about how lousy the weather has been this week. it was BEAUTIFUL . 

so – sometimes tj maxx gets in some really good books at a REALLY decent price. i snagged two of them and they are loaded with great pictures. the first one (for $4) is marie claire maison’s “small spaces, inspiration for stylish living.”
i just love all the pictures. published in 2008, so all the pictures still seem “fresh.”
i believe i have a danish candlestick holder collection that rivals the one above. and i might even have a lamp like that (only mine attaches to a wall. and it’s white. but it’s the same accordion type dealio.) yup, stored away cuz i can’t hang anything on a wall in this apartment. I NEED A HOUSE.

and then oliver heath’s “urban eco chic.” this was all of $5. 
and the back cover says $29.95. again, published in 2008. REALLY good pictures in this one.

hey, is that little table on the left identical to my little one i just sanded?
oh, i think it is.
huh? it’s the same table, right?



get thine butt over to tj’s if you want some great decor books at a smokin’ good price.

action shot. that’s me waving goodbye to 48…
WHAT??? No polish on those toes?? Mercy.
gap’s “sandstone,” mouthy.
Perfect Scenario…Seems more like Hello…Out of the Blue…Gads…I could write a book! Got to tell my friend Nelson D. about this one!
