  63. Isabelle, thankyou for visiting my blog and leaving comments. You live in a beautiful part of the world yourself. Belgium is a wonderful place too - such style! You are extremely generous with your giveaway. I would love the Creative Walls book, looks very interesting. Good luck with your new workspace. I shall look forward to following, love Linda x.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Dear Isabelle, thank you for stopping by my "Attic" (blog) and leaving a comment. Thus, I found your lovely "Attic" (blog). :-) What a fun idea! To seek out other blogs, with the word "Attic" in them. It seems it would find kindred spirits, doesn't it?

    To me, the word 'Attic' conjures up cozy, and old fashioned, and warm, and comfy, and etc. Things I like.

    And you are having a lovely give-away. Being as I have never done a give-away myself, I don't usually join in. But... -sigh- Books! Beautiful books!

    But how to choose?!? I'm sure "The French Inspired Home" is beautiful. But, I think I'll go with "Romantic Style" as my choice, should I win. And I'm sure that whatever your surprise gift is, it will be delightful.

    Again, thank you so much for leaving a comment on my blog!

    ♥ Gentle hugs ♥

  65. I'd be happy with any of these books! I'd be delighted to win! My favorite is probably French Inspired Home.

What a lovely books they all are. My choice would be 'Creative Walls'.
