5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Cottage Collectibles, September 8, 2008

By	Pamela Daly "vintagepastelle.com" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Diane has created a beautiful book and in full color! I recommend it to all those who love to decorate in the romantic cottage or "shabby chic" style. I am so pleased and honored to have been a part of it....thanks so much for asking me Diane...it was fun working with you....and I know you will be pleased to hear I showed the book to Rachel Ashwell herself last week in Brimfield and she said "Tell Diane thank you for creating this book it is a great resource" It doesnt get much better than that for a review! Congratulations Diane

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Book, February 21, 2009

By	Harold Hubbard "Jilly" (Bartlett, IL. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really have enjoyed this book for new and refreshing ideas to create a shabby chic cottage environment. I've always leaned toward Victorian and knew that that wasn't exactly what I wanted. This book has so many wonderful ideas. Anyone who loves vintage and repurposing will love this book.
