I
I thought I would pick up on the topic Karen, from Garden, Home & Party, brought up in one of her previous posts. Yes, it’s taken me a bit of time to actually do this post. Anyway, I’ve always loved going to the library. One of my favorite memories was walking downtown to the library with my girlfriend and wandering around the library on a Saturday afternoon. If it was a really great Saturday when we also went to the five and dime and had a coke at the counter. That was a day when kids in first grade could go places without fear. So I’m really showing my age. I thought It might be fun to take a little tour of some of the areas in my home I keep my books.
In our previous home this was our kitchen cupboard. It held our everyday dishes. I now have it in our living holding some of our books. Normally the glass doors are closed. Which works out perfect to keep out dust, but doesn’t work so well trying to take a photo.
I also have little stacks tucked here and there.
Above are a few of the books I brought back from our trip to France. Well not the one titled “History Of United States. The little skinny ones that were easy to tuck in my bag and carry around the city on a very HOT day.
LOGANBERRY BOOKSTORE
This is my favorite bookstore ever! I could spend all day here. Lucky for me they have nice cushy chairs for people to sit in and read. It feels more like a library than a bookstore. That’s where Mr. BP spends his time while I wander.
If you’re a book lover and ever in Cleveland, Ohio this is a must see destination. And this is the lady that makes everything happen.
And now that brings me back to my little home.
I have to run. Someone is telling me ENOUGH ALREADY! It seems its time for dinner. I’ll continue this another time. I’ll also need to work on how to link to Karen’s beautiful blog. I thought I better go ahead and post this now before I make more mistakes.
Oh, Kathy. What a great post. I love your collection of the books you’ve shown us. I also love your decorative accents. I used to have the ceramic guy you have in the one shot. You are so lucky to have such a great bookstore nearby. Bookstores in Southern California (or at least in my neck of the woods) are becoming a thing of the past.
Coco looks like she wants to play.
Thank you for such kind words about my blog and for the shout out.
xo,
Karen
You’re more than welcome. Your blog’s an inspiration! I have to say, recently I’ve really become aware of how lucky we are. We still have some lovely neighborhood bookstores. I love old books. I should show you our library. It’s incredible. It’s the perfect place for a person that has a bit of nerd in them as myself haha. Oh yes, Coco. She plays this, annoying, game. I’ll attack you so you’ll follow me to the food. You can set your watch by her. As always…nice hearing from you.
Best,
Kathy
Maybe I should try that Coco trick to see if I can get more food. 🙂
No.
I love old books! Those little ones are especially precious!
