Books And Antiques Are Perfect Together

Two photos illustrating how perfectly books fit into any antique setting. Bookcases and bookshelves aren't just for books either. Mix all of your beautiful things together for interest and color. Scanned from one of my favorite books, Decorating with Pictures by Stephanie Hoppen.

Have a wonderful and relaxing Sunday. Rosemary

Royal Portrait of Princes William and Harry Unveiled in London

The first portrait of Britain's Princes William and Harry together is now on display at London's National Portrait Gallery where it will remain for the next six months. The new painting of the youthful princes in full-dress military uniforms and assorted medals and sashes is hanging alongside other royal portraits. The gallery commissioned the historic work, painted by London-based artist Nicky Philipps, after a series of sittings at her studio in the South Kensington neighborhood.

These handsome young princes look very much at ease and natural, don't they? Their mother would be so proud. Continued.

COCO ECO Magazine | Read It Online

Here is another great magazine that you can read online. I love Alicia Silverstone and her "kind" vegan lifestyle. Her new book, "The Kind Diet" sounds like something I'd like to embrace. Eating meat is so yesterday. Alicia has a website called The Kind Life that's brimming with interesting information. Check it out when you have time.
