Simple Beauty With A Book and Fresh Flowers

Don’t you just love simple things that are beautiful?  My father in law gave me a ton of old books last year and a few had covers that were falling off so I didn’t feel bad removing them all the way. I added some twine and a key to one and it is looks so perfectly simple and pretty to me.

I love how there is still some glue on the edge and it gives it texture and a little color.

What could possibly make this look any better?  How about a mug of fresh green flowers?

And maybe even a quote.

Georgia O’Keefe (famous artist) lived in Canyon, TX which is about 10 to 15 minutes from here.  My son and I spent the day there Saturday.  I got a pretty neat photo of  him at an old railroad depot.
