Book Delight

Hi....just had to pop in and share my latest and greatest book finds with you. I found these at TJ Maxx for just a few dollars each. They are hardbound and full of great decorating tips....and things to daydream on for days!

Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend. I am behind in getting around...can't wait to catch up with all of you!

I'm a book-aholic and just love it when I find good buys like you did. Enjoy all that reading (and if you are like me, looking at he pictures)!

What a score! I love those kind of books for daydreaming and inspiration!

Hope you're feeling better, Barb! If not, curl up with a nice cup of tea, one of those darling books, and take it easy :)

Don't you just love TJ Max.
I have found great yard statuary there...Not to mention detailed bird houses for $5.00!

Anita said...

Put on your fuzzy slippers, mix up a hot drink, sit in a comfy chair and pull on a nice soft quilt. Now you are ready to spend a couple hours just looking at these two scrumptious books...can anything be better?

Just a little something from Judy said...

Don't you just love it when books you would enjoy reading and browsing through pop up on the shelves of T.J.Maxx and Marshall's stores? I have found some great ones, and it looks like you did too. Both of them look like fun reading material. I hope you share some of your favorite pictures with us. Don't forget the hot cup of coffee and the comfy chair.

I've been needing a reason to go to TJ Maxx--thanks!

Joan said...

Our TJM had a Christmas book by Country Living last week. Great buy! Somehow being a Hallmark store owner, I missed the one you have!

Darlene said...

Darn....I wish I had a TJ Maxx closer!!!!! Both of those books look wonderful.

Lillie Mae Acres said...

LUV the books. Thank you so much, it's been a while since I've plundered through TJ Maxx. I'll just have to get myself in there real soon and try to find something nice. Ours is sort of a small store, but I've found some great stuff there. Almost all of my fall linens came from there.
I'm hoping for a Home Goods in the town where I have to go shopping often, they are affiliated with TJ Maxx and Marshals.

Carolyn (Harbor Hon) said...

Wow! Two great books for just a couple of bucks. That's the best news I've heard all day. Now I'm jealous. :) Glad you got them and hope you share something from them with us soon. xxoo

Rebecca said...

I saw these, B! Sweet for sure! I should have picked one up! :( ARGH!

Chari said...

Hello Dearheart...

Ohhh...those new books look fabulous! Oh yes...they both look like they could supply and support many a dream, my friend! Enjoy!!! Saying a prayer for you, Sweetie...I didn't realize that you had been under the weather with a cold! Get to feeling better soon!!!

Warmest wishes,
Chari

Mary said...

I love holiday decorating and craftbooks... I could get lost in those! What a great bargain!
Enjoy!
Mary :)

bj said...

It's time for me to pay a visit to our local TJM...I need some new books, too.

Dawn said...

Forgive me Barb, I had to Boo it! Come by my blog for a game of Halloween tag if you'd like. I didn't see a tag free sign so I hope you're game!

I could sit and look at books like that all day. It's probably why my house doesn't look anything like what's in the books! Too much daydreaming!

Hugs,
Dawn

Dawn said...

Oh Barb, I can't imagine why anyone would leave an upsetting comment. My guess is with halloween near some greeen eyed monster is roaming around! Don't fret about it my friend. I will always love visiting your blog and having you drop by mine! I'm sure there are many, many others who feel the same way!
Big Hugs,
Dawn

Barb,
After reading this post...I went to Marshall's and found the Hallmark book. I'm stopping by TJ Max tomorrow hoping to find the Country Living one...I love their books, but do not have this holiday one. Thanks for sharing about them.
I also want to say that I just recently found your blog and I love it!!
