My Book Collection

Lesa over at baja-greenawalts-cozybooknook.blogspot.com had a post about using old books in your decorating. She had some adorable pics posted showing the ways of displaying your treasures.

I have been using books throughout my house since.....
  well forever. 
Every time I go to an antique store or thrift store I always check out the books. I buy the ones that have interesting titles or incredibly well loved covers. I wandered around today and took some pictures of my collection to share with all of you.


The eyeglasses belonged to my grandmother



I keep a few favorites on my nightstand


My foyer is home to my 1914 typewriter and some classics



In my "Mom Cave" aka "The Library" aka our living room I keep a mix of old and new


On my bookshelf I have all of my treasures books, vintage cameras, photos and vintage bottles

Someday I hope to add one of my own books to this collection.....that is if life ever allows me the time to  complete one single thought. Until then I will just enjoy the works of writers past and present.

Thanks for the shoutout! I'm really enjoying your eclectic blog-- I added it to my sidebar faves today.
