Erin Bried very kindly sent me a copy of her book "How to Sew a Button (and other nifty things your grandmother knew)" and I have really been enjoying it! I especially like the quote to open the "nesting" section that reads: "Take pride in your surroundings. Use your imagination, and make your house a home."
