![]() Now that I take my own photos for blogs, articles and other projects, I also rediscovered photographer Amy Neunsinger's lush and captivating images, that've made this book so memorable. Utilizing the "Shabby Chic" palette of pink, blue and white, and the gift ideas from the book, I went to my local "Goodwill Industries Thrift Store" and bought decorative soaps and porcelain gift items, arranged them in a box and photographed them in all their soft pastel splendor. Along with bringing in the books I had to create a class-related project to go with each one. I had forgotten how attached I was to it until I had to bring three books, to class that inspired me and I could create lessons from, for my "ECE 4: Language and Literature for the Young Child" course at Santa Monica College last fall, and it was the first one I checked out of the library. ![]() In my line of work, as a fashion/feature writer, there are few books that really inspire and teach me something new every time I read them, but out of this small group, "Shabby Chic: The Gift of Giving" by Rachel Ashwell remains at the top of my list. ![]()
