I am enjoying rereading Emilies Barnes books these days. I am a big fan of digestible bits of information and she is master of that. There is a good amount on her website as I recently discovered. Here is a sample:
"But whatever you do to your walls and your windows, don’t forget that the most wonderful adornment to your home is your spirit of hospitality, your willingness to share your home and your lives with others. Love what you have and invite others to share the bounty. Your gracious welcome will fill the gaps and make the problems seem to disappear."
and
"You don't always need money to create memories. You just need the desire to turn the ordinary into extraordinary." : )
I was just reading her book "If Teacups Could Talk" the other night. I became a fan of hers when I was in college, newly engaged and read "The Spirit of Loveliness". That book is now OOP (and I gave my copy away--wish I hadn't :/) but it gave me such great ideas on making my newlywed home lovely. I didn't know she had a website~thanks for the link.

Thank you for posting this! I never thought she actually had a site...silly me! I gave several of the children's books to my dc for birthdays and Christmasses...they are favorites...I love the illustrations. She is so practical and special at the same time. I have gleaned much from her.
