Still, it's always reassuring to know that one's enthusiasms are shared by others! John Cornforth's books were an invaluable source when I was writing up the recent guest post for Emily Evans <br />Eerdmans.

A great teacher I am learning about the great qualities for the period in design I have lost track of. He is always thoughtful on his comments and to say the least his posts. <br />As to SC's list- have them except Picasso-which I will look into. the HORST book is a must. And Blue's ID list-wow I feel great I have them all-except Hayes. Guess I should get that one. Now that History list-I have my work cut out for me! Georgian yes-the others No, except from his stacks or cases of WoI mine are meager. Blue do you consider a lending library, I suspect NEVER! Great bloggers both and both keep me aspiring and inspired.GayeP.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541476556391638636.post-23248653043268725462009-12-16T18:20:53.924-05:002009-12-16T18:20:53.924-05:00Books like these have a way of making spirits brig...Books like these have a way of making spirits bright!<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541476556391638636.post-35326275368947105262009-12-16T12:48:34.789-05:002009-12-16T12:48:34.789-05:00Janet and HBD -- I'm honestly touched by your ...Janet and HBD -- I'm honestly touched by your comments. You know how to lift a girl's spirits on a day when she doesn't feel particularly stylish or together! It goes without saying that Janet and everyone included in Book Week inspire me greatly. <br /><br />Blue's list here is outstanding.

I found "Blue" though you and have come to view him as a wealth of information and old world style, to say nothing of his wearing his heart on his most worldly sleeve. And that is something that I find redemptive and nurturing in this modern world of ours. And Courtney's passion for style greets me in the mornings with enthusiasm, knowledge and a curator's triage. Have become a great fan of her pairings. So much more sophisticated than what lies on the surface.home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541476556391638636.post-19298058365056810962009-12-15T21:20:19.848-05:002009-12-15T21:20:19.848-05:00That was very nice of you, JCB.
