Happy Derby Day

This is such a beautiful vignette combining two things I love - chinoiserie and horses.

I have not mentioned HomeGoods in ages/I have a horrible blog troll who attempts to leave nasty anonymous comments every time I do and it gets tiresome. At any rate, I was in HG yesterday and found this wonderful book on the world of horses. I rode for years and almost married someone who owned racing horses, and miss the world of "polished leather and fresh hay." I styled it with a vintage crop - not sure if this was mine or my daughter Kate's. The cover is ultra suede BTW.

Anyway, HomeGoods is a great source for coffee table books - this book The Equestrian World by Peter Clotten sells for $95.00 on Amazon and I found it at HG for $29.99. I have many other great book finds from there as well including some out of print books, all at great prices.

Time to get out my Jefferson cups today for the perfect Mint Julep.

I'm in Saratoga Springs for the races, so I thought I would do a post that combines horses and Chinoiserie.
