Books like Autumn from the Heart of the Home

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up Autumn from the Heart of the Home from our local library. I had been cruising Ms. Branch's blog, http://www.susanbranch.com, searching through her archives. I admired her self-taught watercolor drawings, her cheery outlook on life and the author's eclectic country-chic style of decorating. After I opened the pages, the first thing that popped into my head was the older Gooseberry Patch cookbooks from years gone by. -Newer books are still published today.- Besides buying them in bookstores, Cracker Barrel restaurants carried them. A close group of friends and I use to collect them. Alas, I no longer own my treasured stash. *Sigh.*Like this cookbook, they were loaded with warm colors common to the seasonal theme, comfort food recipes and snippets of suggestions to bring out the best during that special time of the year. I could be wrong but the big difference between GP and this book was the amount of quotes that Ms. Branch included. From Dolly Parton to Frances Burnette. After you get ahold of this, fix yourself a hot drink, sit down in your comfortable chair and award yourself some special time. You deserve it.
