In an earlier post, I mentioned that the Anne of Green Gables books (all eight of them), are my favorite books of all time. My parents gave me a boxed set of the books as a Christmas present when I was 9 years old. I still have this exact set, and I think I've read each book about 30 times over the years --- I just LOVE them. Anne is, in my opinion, one of the best characters in literature, and the Anne books instilled a life-long love of reading and imagination in me. Even as an adult, I love to occassionally pick up a well-worn copy of one of my favorite of the Anne books (usually, "Anne of the Island" or "Rilla of Ingleside" - about Anne's youngest daughter - but it sometimes varies depending on my stage in life), and curl up on the couch and immerse myself in the familiar stories. Tonight, it's snowy and cold --- a perfect night to curl up with "Anne's House of Dreams" (since my husband and I just bought our first home!), and to daydream about one day going to Prince Edward Island (where the story takes place), and visiting the Green Gables house.

I actually have not read the books but I was a huge fun of the TV miniseries! In fact, it's on my Netflix queue!! I would totally love to read these. Love the vintage book, it's beautiful. And congratulations to you and your first home! I'll admit I snuck a peek at your blog and took a look at it-it's the cutest!
