Thank you for all the encouragement you passed on regarding the Boden dress, I ear marked some $$ and decided I was going to buy it.  That is until I found myself at Marshalls last night.  I found this darling dress last night and *gasp* it was on clearance for $10!  I promptly snapped it up and wore it to church today.

Also wanted to share the last 2 books I’ve finished; And Only To Deceive by Tasha Alexander.  Think of it as Jane Austin meets Sherlock Holmes, it was a real page turner and I enjoyed it very much.

“So when Emily’s dashing husband died on safari soon after their wedding, she felt little grief. After all, she barely knew him. Now, nearly two years later, she discovers that Philip was a far different man from the one she had married so cavalierly. His journals reveal him to have been a gentleman scholar and antiquities collector who, to her surprise, was deeply in love with his wife. Emily becomes fascinated with this new image of her dead husband and she immerses herself in all things ancient and begins to study Greek. Emily’s intellectual pursuits and her desire to learn more about Philip take her to the quiet corridors of the British Museum, one of her husband’s favorite places. There, amid priceless ancient statues, she uncovers a dark, dangerous secret involving stolen artifacts from the Greco-Roman galleries.”

The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom with John & Elizabeth Sherill.  An amazing account of one woman’s experience in occupied Holland.  She and her sister use their house as a safe place for Jews and helped them find refuge with other families in the country.  They are later sent to multiple concentrations camps.  This is written in Corrie’s own words and is a gripping read.  Anyone who appreciated Elie Wiesel’s Night will also be interested in this account.
