Amazing and gorgeous book, won't fit on my coffee table though so I guess I won't place a bid :-)
Can you tell I'm playing catch up on your blog with the plethora of comments that I'm making all at once? I've been out in Colorado for a week, heading home on Saturday. Joined up with my sisters for a yearly sisters reunion, we had a blast.
