Saving Up

Like a squirrel who saves up walnuts for winter, I've been collecting, storing and, frankly, daydreaming over pictures that I've been saving for years that show styles I like and want to incorporate into my home when my husband finally retires from the Coast Guard and we settle in somewhere. I rip or clip pictures and file them in a large binder (I'm up to 2 binders now) or I put them into my "Dream Book" which is a little sketchbook that is almost completely full of inspirational photos. These books are among my most treasured possessions.
