Jamie Drake in My Mailbox

Do you know Little Augury? She's relatively new to the blogging world, just starting in January. She's currently doing a series of interviews about books with some of the most influential bloggers, including An Aesthete's Lament, Mrs. Blandings, JCB and my friend, the late, great House of Beauty & Culture.
In conjunction with some of these interviews, she's giving away some of her books, and I was lucky enough to be chosen to receive Jamie Drake's New American Glamour. It arrived at my office this mornning beautifully wrapped in fabulous pink paper.
Oh, my gosh! What a gorgeous book! I can NOT wait to spend some time reading through this book and studying the pictures.
Thank you so much, Little Augury!

LA... that's the porch railing on the house where I grew up. I love the mossy look of it.

Thanks again for the book. It's really fantastic!

I'm glad you won this book from my interview with her, although I wouldn't call myself an 'influential blogger' LOL. This is a keeper book, not one for the bookthing! I plan to reread this book this weekend as Jamie is giving a lecture at the Corcoran museum here in DC this upcoming Tuesday - I'll be there, you should come down!

Pink paper always makes a gift beautiful! Books are a very favorite thing to give or receive!
