Great books.
....................
Yesterday I went to library. I will have to post more about that because it was incredible! But while I was there picking up my 18 holds, I found these two books. Run to your library and check these out! They have the best entertaining ideas and recipes! The graphics are darling, the text is entertaining. But my favorite thing was the story behind Lilly Pulitzer. If you do not know her story it is worth reading. I thought she was someone who just started designing clothes recently. Oh no, she has a wonderful story and I won't ruin it by telling it to you. But Jackie Kennedy is the one who made her famous...is that a good teaser?
If you don't know who Lilly Pulitzer is you can educate yourself here.
You can buy books here, but I suggest checking them out the library first. These are going on my Christmas wish list for sure!
Don't throw your next party without looking at these books. Especially if you have a little boys birthday party, they have the cutest idea in there!

We have a Lilly store here. I have always loved those dresses, so thanks for the history lesson on them.

We actually have this store in our mall. I have never really thought to go in. I will have to look next time!

I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I do, and so I think that these books look really cute!
