Thanks so much for sharing your fave decorating and design books in the comments on this morning's post. I love the fantasy "Buttonchief7" shared in her comment. Made me laugh! I think I have the same fantasy.
Here's a little recap of all the events here at BNOTP for the month of August, complete with links in case you missed a post or would just like to revisit it.
Thanks so much for visiting and reading. Without you, there would be no Between Naps on the Porch! ♥♥♥ you! Yeah, I know that's sappy...but I still mean it.
Tour the Real Up House:
We toured the real "Up" house built like the house in the Disney Pixar movie, Up. It's for sale so you can live in your own Up house.
Near Abductions:
I shared the two times I was almost abducted as a child. Your comments on that post were so moving...thank you for sharing your stories.
Tablescape Thursday Party: Displaying and Decorating with China:
We were treated to Jeanne's amazing talent for decorating and displaying her china collection for the seasons and special holidays. Every hutch display was amazing!
A Film for Foodies:
We watched a quick 1 minute movie of how three crazy guys dined all around the world in 44 days.
