I had to share this fun news with you! I just won this fabulous vintage
book by answering a riddle over at Charmaine's (High Desert Diva)
blog in her Pay it Forward Giveaway contest. Isn't it so gorgeous?
It's a perfect addition to my vintage book collection. Notice it is
decorated by Will H. Low. How delightful is that? Do you know the
charming and talented Charmaine Manley? Pop over for a visit today
and tell them Willow sent you. She is one of my daily reads and once
you visit, you'll know why. Thank you, Charmaine!

    What a delightful gift - this shade of blue is particularly unusual and very beautiful. Vintage books resemble small treasures, almost jewel-like, don't you think? This one was clearly meant to be yours.

    I love finding vintage books like this. They are such a pleasure. I often lament the fact that they don't make books like this anymore. That is beautiful, congratulations!!!
