I have a really special give away to offer one of you! I was sent this beautiful book, About A Village by Eamonn McCabe, by Frances Lincoln Publishers, and they kindly offered an extra as a give away. I love them.
Eamonn McCabe is an incredibly talented British photographer, and in this book he shares a beautiful photo essay on a tiny village called Firle, in East Sussex. He definitely answers the question "What is it that makes the ideal English Village?" It pleases me to no end, that places like this still exist in the world. Enchanting is not a word I use often, but it is the perfect word to describe this book. I want to step right into the images, and meet the friendly faces peering back at me. You can also purchase it here, if you can't wait for the give away. ;) For more of Eamonn's work, check out his portfolio of images he's shot for Elle, Vogue and Marie Claire, here. Pretty stellar.
Here is just a small sample of some of my favourite images from this stunning book....

I adore these photos as well as his fashion editorial photos. There is nothing better than a book that can transport you from your everyday busy life! Thanks for sharing.

Love the photo of the girl in the skirt and boots with the dog! These all remind me of my small town upbringing :)
I adore projects like that, 'cause whenever people hear of a certain Country, the first things coming to their minds is its Capital, some popular Artist or any other such nonsense.
But the countryside & the common people with their quirks are what really makes those places loveable
Ah, I'm rambling again... :)
Would make a great addition to my new end table, love it:)
