Birthday Book- Barbara Barry's,"Around Beauty"!

Well another year older and wiser I hope!  My dear sister and design partner knows how much I love books so she gave me Barbara Barry's, "Around Beauty".  It is such a gorgeous book and it is so wonderful to learn about Barbara's design philosophy, and her principles of good design.  She explains her design process and stories of inspiration from the quality of light to things she finds in nature.
I love this quote in the book by Barry: Beauty holds my world together; it fulfills a need in my soul ;it helps me survive. Beauty is my inspiration for my life and for my work . I find its qualities evocative, and always in its presence I pause, aware of the mysterious becoming visible.
Enjoy a glimpse into this lovely book available here!
