The Elusive Coffee Table Book

My daughter was

looking for a coffee table book

for her guests to sign at her

upcoming wedding...

She was looking for

something along the lines of

ranching, agriculture, Arizona scenery, etc...

Finding this book seems next to

impossible...

A few years back

I went to an auction with my parents,

and one of the items that were up for auction

was this really cool ranching coffee table book...

Of course,

I had to have that book and wouldn't you know it,

other people there wanted that book just as much as I did...

I set my price for bidding

and was determined not to go over my set bidding price...

Well, with all the excitement that this book

brought in bidding...

I got caught up in the bidding war...

Lucky for me I lost the war...

Can you imagine

me coming home and telling my husband

that I just paid $350.00 for a coffee table book...

I think my limit on the book was around $40.00...

Yes, I kept bidding right up to around $325.00...

So, I think it's fair to say

that I am not good with limits...

and of course,

I will never forget that book...

In my quest for finding her a book,

I came across the book above...

I love this book...

I love the couch on page 127...

Everything on pages 48 and 49...

on pages 58 and 59,

are recipes for beeswax polish and furniture polish...

and my most favorite page is page 70...

I love that room...

to see images from the book...

We are still looking for a book, I keep comparing all the books to

the one that got away...

I hate when that happens...

Still Searching,

Petie
