Autumn cushion covers - the large one picked up in the fabric store and the smaller one stitched by yours truly. There are two of each. I treated myself to this special edition of the first Armand Gamache mystery by Louise Penny, Still Life. You can catch a glimpse of the painted edges of the pages - do they have a special name? The end papers are gorgeous and there is a fold out map of Three Pines, and an interview between Louise Penny and Margaret Atwood at the end. A lovely book commemorating the 20th anniversary of publication.
I just finished reading it this evening, hence the quick post. I'll leave you with one quote from the book, perfect for Autumn.
"Even in the rain and wind Gamache could see how beautiful the countryside was. The maples had turned deep reds and oranges, and leaves blown down in the storm were spread along the road and gully like a tapestry." (p 117)
That is a lovely edition of Still Life to treasure.
ReplyDeleteThose oaty bars look to die for! And wow -- your copy of Still Life is beautiful. I had no idea that it would be so elegant, though I should have expected it. I might have to spring for it!
ReplyDeleteA lovely quick post with so much to enjoy. Both cushions and book are very attractive and the slices look delicious:)
ReplyDeleteLouise described autumn beautifully! Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to read a special edition of Louise Penny’s first Gamache. Very special. It looks very cosy in your corner with pretty new cushions. B x
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Lorrie! Your baking treasures kind of remind me of date squares, which I love!
ReplyDeleteLouise Penny certainly is a prolific author! Your copy of Still Life looks quite lovely. I like the Autumn description. I like your cushions too 🧡💛🤎.
