Special Delivery

I present to you the books, in all their glory...





Ordered on a Thursday night (with standard shipping), received on Monday. Not too shabby if you ask me.

And, of course, I love them.

{images by me, taken right after the books were received. So if you enlarged the photos and are wondering about the little particles on some of the books - it's just the shipping packaging stuff that I neglected to notice in my excited state. Sorry about that.}

    Thank you!

    What is the background - fabric? Wallpaper? Who makes it? Anything with lattice and pale blue catches my eye every time.

    The books are gorgeous, for sure. But I too am wondering what that blue latice background is. I am hoping it's a bedspread and still available somewhere.

    Love your blog.

    Thank you SO much for posting this! I have been lusting after those books since they first came out last year and I was ecstatic to see that they were available a little closer to home and for a fraction of the price. I just ordered a set! I am beyond excited about this!!

    I just came across your blog for the first time tonight and I love it. :)

    They're divine! Where do they come from? They look vintage. The one with the chandeliers is so cute!

    kWow, those books are absolutely beautiful!! I really want them but they're sold out now :((
    I'm gonna do my best, those are classics everyone should have at home and it's even better if they can look beautiful and make our shelves a work of art!!
