Daphne's Diary

Only four more days until moving day and I am counting the hours.  This apartment has certainly had it's issues, and I am so happy that we found a little house to rent instead.

I have been finding wonderful things while I am nesting in North Carolina.  I have always loved James Taylor, but I especially love the way he sings more recently, like this version of his song Carolina In My Mind.

The only thing that I will miss about this apartment is how perfectly my corner desk fits into this unusual window.

 Today the pounding of hammers against the wall in the apartment below us was driving me insane.  So, I took a ride to a local book store.  

 That is where I found this wonderful new magazine from the UK called Daphne's Diary.  Inside I found such unusual things"

"Daphne's Diary is a diary in the form of a magazine.  
Daphne invites you into her creative world of home and garden, 
cooking, travel, crafts and shopping."

Including cutout menus that were printed on both sides for you to create your own menus.

 Even more cutouts and creative inspiration could be found throughout the entire magazine.  It was reminiscent of the paper dolls I used to cutout from my McCall's magazine or from Home Companion magazine.

There is so much beauty in this magazine.  Some of her pages are handwritten, illustrated and have glorious photographs of her travels throughout Europe.

 Oh, thank you Daphne you certainly saved me from this noisy place, and brought a smile to my face as I devoured every page while sipping a Latte.  I downloaded this lovely table from the magazine's website.
