I love a good book . The Cowboy loves a good book. We have lots and lots of books.
A few horse themed books sit on an antique library table in our living room. The slant stand was made by the Cowboy in wood shop in High School.
A few more are stacked next to the computer. a lamp sits on top.
We have a mini office area that has a shelf. Part of the Cowboys collection of Civil War books sit among a few of his favorite things.
A few of our Bible collection sit on the bottom of our t.v stand . . .
Devotionals and children's story Bible. I also have a collection of Department 56 Dickens villages.
I love the church's so they are displayed all years. The rest of the collection is displayed at Christmas.
Another set of shelves in our bedroom hold a few of the Cowboys Duck Decoys and a few of my journals
A few antique books . In small spaces you have to search for different ways to store items.
More books on the fireplace mantle
A few Cookbooks rest on a vintage shelf atop the refrigerator . . .
A few more rest behind my collection of vintage Blue Mason jars
More cookbooks in the laundry room.
And many more sadly sit in boxes in storage.
I love books so much that I even stacked a few and made a Christmas tree.
I love books so much I even have a virtual book shelf that sits on my sidebar.
I began a Shelfari shelf to organize the books that I've read. The Cowboy picks up books for me at the library. I sit at my computer look for books in the library catalogue and request them then The Cowboy
picks them up.
A couple of times I've accidentally requested books I've already read. So the Shelfari helps me keep track.
I've never counted how many books we have. I've always wanted a room filled with books. I don't only have a room filled...I have a Cottage filled.
Do you have a lot of books?

ReplyDeleteNice collection!
ReplyDeleteI could not imagine a life without books, sometimes will show my own library at my blog too...
But a Christmas tree of books, that I call a great idea!
Greetings from Germany
I say surround you with the things you love and you have truly done that! I do love vintage cook books and I always pick up old books if they are red or aqua to use in my displays. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
