Tracy Porter's Inspired Gatherings

Rating:
Summary: Some inspiration
Review: While I thoroughly enjoyed "Dreams..." I prefer Inspired Gatherings enough to give the gift of this book. I thought that many of the ideas were much more stealable than in the previous book which has a much more 'I did this!' air to it. (not meaning to imply it puts on airs but merely that it is a book about the unusual art project that is her house) I enjoyed the lists of fairly simple items she keeps on hand to glam things up. I was able to assemble many of them from around the house into one box that I kept nearby last Christmas to beautify packages. I was frequently asked to bring along the box o' glitz when packages would be wrapped. I used snow-like glitter with such abandon that we bought the huge tub for next year at the year end clearance. All in all I thought the book was a total hit and am thoroughly pleased with myself for buying it.
