I'm addicted to pattern books and look at them whenever I feel stuck in a rut. These two exemplify my two cultural loves- early American folk culture, and Japanese craft culture. "Beautiful business" always satisfies my aesthetic.
(Early American Small Floral Patterns was a surprise gift from a friend and I purchased Modern Patterns of Japan at The Strand, during a New York trip)
