Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

The summer is moving on by a little faster than I want it to. It doesn’t seem possible that tomorrow is August 1st already! Even though fall is my favorite time of year and I get excited when the season transitions, I don’t want to rush the summer – even with the hot days of August ahead.

Before the summer gets away from me, I plan to take more time in the evenings to sit outside with a glass of wine, a good book and simply chill and enjoy the longer days. It has been hot, but a nice breeze always seems to be blowing by in the evening which makes being outside doable and relaxing.

Have you read any good books lately? I need a few new titles to build my reading list back up.

  1. I just finished The Girl in His Shadow, by Audrey Blake. It was very interesting.
    I was hoping more people would chime in on good books.
    Right now I’m reading The Incredible Winston Browne. It’s very good.

      Hi Joy – Thanks for the recommendations. I added the titles to my book list. I was hoping more readers would chime in also here in the comments. I did receive a few emails from readers sharing the books they just read, but not in the comment section of my post.

      Hi June – Thank you for taking the time to recommend Miss Eliza’s English Kitchen. I added it to my book list. I am on the waiting list at my library for many books also. It is rare that one that I search for comes up as available right away. They do seem to come pretty quickly though. My only frustration is when two or more come in at the same time and I can’t read them all in time, so I have to place the title back on the wait list.

      Thanks Kate – I am now smitten with the match safes and hope I can stumble upon one when out and about. If not, I am sure I can fine one being sold online. Life is good. Sitting out on my deck with my laptop enjoying my morning tea and the morning before it gets too hot to be outside. Take Care.
