Book Giveaway - Thrifty Chic (Now ended)

This weeks giveaway is one of my favourite interiors books - Thrifty Chic. If you like Selina Lake's Homespun Style (and I know many of you do, rightly so) you'll like this!
As before, if you leave a comment, already are or become a follower you get two entries. It is fine to join in if you don't want to become a follower, you will just get one entry instead of two.

This week I'd like you to let me know what you describe your interiors style as.

Good Luck!
This giveaway closes on Saturday 28th April 2012 at midday.

Thanks for visiting

New Books

Don't you just love the pink,orange and yellow together?

At one time barely a week went by without a delivery from that well known company, Amazon.They have a brilliant selection and at such a good price it was hard to resist! However, now I'm much more restrained with my book buying as funds are lower. I never buy fiction but I am always tempted by craft and interiors publications. There are some you just have to have, aren't there? These are two that I pre ordered and received this week.
The first is Flea Market Chic by Liz Bauwens. I have her previous book Thrifty Chic and I look at it a lot so I knew I was going to like this one. And I was right it's a great book, very inspirational. I've not read all the words yet but I have looked at the pictures! I think this is a great book and well worth buying or borrowing from your local library.
Homespun Style by Selina Lake is the second that I've bought this week, it is such a brilliant book with really great pictures (and lots of them) and I now know that my style is called Homespun!The definition of homespun is simple and unsophisticated - sounds about right!
  I would highly recommend this book. Selina is my favourite stylist, I love the styling she does for magazines and I'd also recommend a read of her blog.

Here are a few pictures for you to drool over


Thanks for stopping by.
