Inspirational, good book for my collection,

This review is from: Lotta Jansdotter's Handmade Living: A Fresh Take on Scandinavian Style (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book because of the simplicity to it, if you enjoyed her other books this is worth taking a look at! (If you love Lotta, this is worth taking a look at) It is like looking at a blog, it's inspirational, though not a lot of content. I appreciated that she didn't provide tutorials for every simple project like some other diy books do. I'm Scandinavian, and I appreciated the recipes she provided.Do not buy if you are looking for tutorials... but definitley read.

Great pictures, but not really much substance to this book. I wasn't particularly wanting to try the foods she suggested from her native land, and the little projects she had where so simple. You could think of half of these yourself or find the on craft blogs. Cute idea but I thought his book was a flop.

My New Favorite Book!,
By ModCottagegirl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lotta Jansdotter's Handmade Living: A Fresh Take on Scandinavian Style (Hardcover)
Since first discovering Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing, I have adored everything Lotta! I pored over the pictures in her previous books less to learn how to make items and more to glean home decorating and living ideas. What I really wanted was the chance to hear in Lotta's own words how she blends old and new pieces in a way that seems effortlessly comfortable, fresh, and modern. Lotta's new book, Handmade Living: A Fresh Take on Scandanavian Style, is just such a peek into her home and life! Every page, picture, story is a glimpse into her style, and as I finished reading, I felt I had visited the apartment of a friend who is kind enough to share her creative ideas--as well as a cinnamon bun (recipe included). Most of all this book has become my new "favorite book" because it is so authentically real. This book inspires me to embrace the home in which I live, adding my own touches to make it uniquely my own. Thank you, Lotta!
