About Domesticity
September 11, 2008
I have spent the last few weeks reading The Gentle Art of Domesticity by Jane Brocket. The book arrived on my doorstep, courtesy of STC Craft.
Reading this book was a comfort to me. I loved the way Jane explored the things that she loves to do, which are coincidentally some of the things I like too. Beyond the sewing and the knitting, her ponderings struck a chord with me on so many levels. The photos are inviting, the words captivating and the tone welcoming. I didn't read her blog before I read this book, but I will now. It's that wonderful.
And lucky for you, I have an extra copy for sharing. If you would like the book, leave a comment on this post before Saturday, September 13th and I will use the random number generator to choose a winner.
Hope you are having a great day.
Would love to read this book by a fellow brit who's on the other side of the pond. Reading her blog made me homesick, good job I'm off for a week's trip to UK soon!
