I have this book for barter. Very good condition and from a non-smoking home.

The Gentle Art of Domesticity by Jane Brocket.

Here is a link so you can check out more details :)

http://www.amazon.com/The-Gentle-Art-Domesticity-Stitching/dp/B003H4RAPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351298679&sr=8-1&keywords=gentle+art+of+domesticity

And a link to Jane's blog to get an idea of what she is about:

I am looking for:
~Beeswax or beeswax candles
~Loose leaf teas
~Pre-2000 Victoria magazines
Or what have you :)

Thanks for your consideration :)

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this transaction, but I wanted to add my two cents by sharing my Amazon review on this lovely book. :)

"This is such a delightful book. Full of eye candy and encouragement to exercise our creative muscles, it is such a treat. My tastes don't run exactly to the author's (I don't knit, and haven't a sweet tooth), but I find myself motivated to be more experimental with my crochet tastes and adventures in the kitchen. I've also made more of an effort to seek out the cultural and historical attractions and sites in my own neck of the woods. Really to me, the book is a nudge towards enriching our everyday existence.

I also so appreciate the author's writing style. Just because a book has pretty pictures does not mean it can't set a high literary standard as well. : ) "

It is a wonderful, curl-up-on-a-rainy-day-with-tea kind of read. :D

Sharon, do you still have The Gentle Art of Domesticity to barter? I have approximately 3 oz. of mountain rose herbs certified organic "Fairytale Tea" and approx. 3 oz. of mountain rose herbs certified organic "Evening Repose Tea". Both are really lovely. The 4th oz of each was used in a tea swap. I also have small tea bags to fill.
I would love to barter those for your book. Just e-mail me.
