Faded Glamour by Rebecca Kain

"Faded Glamour was born of a journey. It was a journey that took Rebecca Kain back in time to the lives of her grandmothers, their homes and their way of living. Along the way she recorded what she saw, what she found and how she felt. And en route Rebecca came to appreciate something that inspired her to write this book. She discovered that nostalgia, so often dismissed as misty-eyed sentimentalism, can be a powerfully positive force. That it need not be solely about memories, but can a defining was of life, here and now. This book is named for the phrase Rebecca came to use to describe this way of living. Faded Glamour is as much a style and a way of thinking as it is a book. It is built on a belief that the best things get better with time, developing a patina that comes with human use and love. It is the antidote to the contemporary tendency to 'contrive' or purchase a look. It lives in homes where little is discarded because value and beauty are seen to grow with age"--Back cover.
