One can never have too many books.
Yesterday when I was cleaning, I decided to line the top of the desk in the study with books. The room already has a lot of books, in the tall book shelf in the corner and others scattered here and there, why not a few more on top of the desk?
And, as I sit here today at the desk doing some paperwork, I realize how happy I am to be surrounded by books!
Books are the most quietest and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers.

I love books too and like to use them, as you have here, as decorating acessories...there is something so homey and comfortable about books. My favorite place to go is to the library.(-:
We love our books too. I don’t think I could have a Kindle as I just love holding a book. PS-I got a wonderful package in the mail yesterday!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the vase of flowers you painted. It is going in my cottage and will be perfect there :) Will be in touch about sign for chicken house too.
Hugs, Amy
