Some of my children are such voracious readers they always insist on sitting in the library to be read their story of the day! I think antique dolls and books are natural together and having a couple of pink flamingos watching over is a good thing. I find I can fit more books in this bookcase by storing them horizontally. I must have at least 1,500 books of all types and ages. I think the Mets uniform is shrinking, lol.
Funny, I have books, antique dolls and flamingos too. I just don't have your knack for display. I think that's why I love you so.... I am always learning new techniques. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about this the other day, Annie. I live in a constantly changing art installation. Once I let go of the idea of decorating my living spaces and creating art with them, I couldn't go wrong!
DeleteIn a fit of madness once I put all of my books except 15 in the "giveaway" area of the apartment building where I lived. I changed my mind 15 minutes later and went back, but all the books were gone. I'm still crying...
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know Katie when I have to downsize and I'll save some books for you! : )
