New Inspiration ~ Vintage Victoria Books

 

And it’s Friday! Good Morning Everyone,

So I am actually headed into the office this morning. I am scheduled for in-office work today and Monday so these next few days will go by fast. Tomorrow we are taking our daughter and her bestie out for bowling a little small birthday celebration! I hope they enjoy it. I am also hoping to film a Youtube video this week. Fingers crossed I can get that done. 

Okay lets into today’s post! Did any of you watch Jennifer’s recent video? I will place it below if you have not. 

 

This was a really fun video! I loved watching it but in the first part of the video, I was spying her books under her nightstand. Did any of you do that? I paused it a few times to try to get the titles. Most of them were vintage books published by Victoria magazine. 

I have never heard of any of these titles. The first book was this Colefax and Fowler: The Best in English Interior Decoration. Then the second title I got was Victoria: At Home with White: Celebrating the Intimate Home.

This then lead me down a rabbit hole of vintage Victoria book inspiration! I was so excited to find more books! I am seriously considering ordering The Business of Bliss: How to Profit from Doing What You Love.  I think this would be a wonderful read. I love reading the entrepreneurship articles whenever they publish them in the magazine. I guess this book was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and was published in the early 2000’s. 

Other books that I have moved to my books list on Amazon are: The Pleasures of Staying in Touch, Victoria: Bedrooms: Private Worlds & Places to Dream, Victoria Romantic Touches: Charming Handmade Projects for Every Room, and last and of course I must include a tea book of some sort the Essential Tea Companion

I love finding any inspiration wherever I can. I hope this list may inspire you to order one or two. Also, let me know in the comments section below if you own any of these. I would love to know your thoughts.

Now time for some boutique news. Some of you have asked about the boutique. Right now technically it is ready but I am being so paranoid about things. So I think I just may pull the trigger and say that March 9th is the launch date and you may place an order then if you wish! I did some testing yesterday and everything worked great. I am sure that there will be issues along the way because I am learning but I am excited and hope that you guys will enjoy the items.  

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
