Sweet watercolor paintings accompany the wonderful variety of recipes, decorating ideas and down-home, memory-filled pages of this hand-painted and lettered book. I love Susan's girl-friendly chit-chatty style, sounds like she's right there in the kitchen with me. Her recipes are easy and elegant at the same time, and sometimes they're just "unusual" enough to seem exotic. She reminds me that sweet simplicity and friendly hospitality are important qualities to share our lives with others. Her inspirational quotes sprinkled throughout are very uplifting, too. My favorite part of her books are the simple, sweet, and "earthy" watercolor paintings--in fact, she's inspired me to follow my own dream to paint with watercolors AND hone my calligraphy lettering skills.
I have been in a creative slump this year and because Autumn and Thanksgiving are my favorite times of the year, I wanted something that would inspire me to find the things I used to love about it again. I've been a fan of SB's drawings since I first saw them in ads in Country Living magazine years ago, so I thought I would take a look at her book. Got it out of the library and decided I needed to have my own copy! Her artwork is so charming! The whole book is eye candy. Her thoughts on Autumn and Thanksgiving are inspiring and I've already tried some recipes and they are good. Love this book! My home is decorated for the season and I'm enjoying it and am looking forward to Thanksgiving. I'd say this book did the trick for me. :)
Book was basically brand new. Love the Susan Branch books.

I absolutely LOVE Susan Branch's books from her illustrations, her lettering and her stories. Her books bring you into her world as she shares her own memories and creativity with you. In turn she sparks my own creativity and helps me make our home a warm and cozy place to want to be - a place where memories are made. I am slowly collecting all her books. I enjoy pulling them out and just reading and looking through them for fun and inspiration. I have even given her books as gifts.
