I was in the Berkshires this past weekend on a much needed getaway with my husband. We toured Edith Wharton's home who is best known for writing The Age of Innocence, House of Mirth, and Ethan Frome. She was the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Yale University, and full membership into the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Touring the house was peaceful in spite of the ghost sitings reported from visitors over the years. Had I known about this I really don't think I would have agreed to the tour. However, after touring the bottom floor of the home, we made a stop by the bookstore. Of all the books, gadgets, and keepsakes in the room this little pink book caught my eye. Naturally I picked it up and felt it would be the perfect buy. I also bought the Little Pink Book of Elegance which is a great, quick read. Every lady should have one to use as a quick reference.
