Mary Randolph Carter is a true hero!
I enjoyed looking at all the wonderful ideas that Mary Randolph Carter creates with her salvaged finds. She definitely gives junk a new life and the book will make everyone think twice before throwing out something. She has definitely opened my eyes. Simply, it is just plain fun!

A guest book for your home.

Another fabulous book
Oh Mary...........we love you so. The book is an inspiration to us all. I can only get through a couple of pages before I have to head for the nearest "junk" or antique shop to get a fix. If you like this book, you will like all of her great books. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait for the next one to come out! Hurry, Mary.......we can hardly wait.
