Love the couch....I'm rather late to this party!<br />Love the couch. It reminded me of a FF piece I wrote, about an old couch which probably resembles the one above (to some degree) but mine was an imbuia couch. <br />I love Hilary's eclectic posts. They're always choc-full... overflowing with all sorts of wonderful snippets...Michelle Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750092836481599870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-53827433952126218412015-09-18T18:30:51.090+10:002015-09-18T18:30:51.090+10:00@ New Release Books - thanks for coming by.

The trick to my 'knowing' a fair amount, is that I teach myself as I go - I have learnt lots through blogging.<br /><br />Denise's couch visits always do let us find out more about others don't they - it's a great way of digging a little deeper behind the facade of the blogger we feel we might know by reading about them.<br /><br />Cheers and so appreciate your thoughts here ...
