rescue a French cookbook (and Lynne's spirit...)

nothing better to get one out of a lost spirit funk than a little DIY!

to all of my great blog girlies...giant hugs!

i mean it!  GIANT HUGS!!!!

i have put the world on the back burner this morning to 

share my my latest go to DIY therapy!

a cook book rescue!

as always, here on 34th street,
 there is a short story...

on an occasional Sunday afternoon, Mr D and I love to

 pop in to TJMaxx and HomeGoods.

this past summer, i had been keeping my eye on this 

pretty shopworn and wrinkled French cookbook.

no one bought it.

i was sort of hoping that a markdown would occur...but it didn't.

so...during another visit, (about two weeks later),  i took my own
 initiative and asked a sales associate for a price reduction
 due the the book's shabby condition.

 she sold it to me for  five dollars.  yay!

i was so (more) hoping that she would because...in the back of my mind
i thought that the pretty images in the book would be useful
in the packaging of little holiday gifts and favors...

what do you think?

i have only just begun!

there will be more to share!

see ya soon, have a blessed day!
