Monday Morning Inspiration/Free Museum Books!

This is just too good to be kept a secret! 
We all love inspiration, and I think that most of us enjoy seeing the beautiful clothes that have been created by some of the most amazing designers. Well, how about being able to get the books for free???
I'm fortunate to have been invited to be on a Facebook page where lots of sewing inspiration is shared. One of the ladies is an avid reader, so she has a great thirst for knowledge. A few years ago I was so impressed when she decided to take a very analytical course at one of the major universities here in Chicago...just for the fun of learning, amazing. She recently shared the site I'm sharing with you, and I think you are going to love it just as much as I have. 
As it turns out, The Metropolitan Museum of Art has made a number of books available as a free download. FREE!!!! It's true, I've downloaded a number of the books.

This was one of my favorites. Glorious pictures and great text.


I had the opportunity to see this exhibit and of course I purchased the book. This book is a must see. You'll love the exhibit pieces that were chosen.


I also downloaded the Madame Gres book. Beautiful.

There are so many more. Here's just a sampling,
You can find all that I have listed and more HERE.

I think that's enough to inspire you on a Monday morning!!!
Have fun :)
Rhonda
P.S. Thanks Miss P!
