Books in my mother's house


My mother loves books in the kitchen...




...on a cake stand...


...by the couch...


...near the back door...



...and  under a lamp....

  1. I love your mother's house! She does a great job of decorating with books!

    And that little note found inside the book is just adorable!

  2. I love how quirkily she accommodated all those books, especially on the cake stand.

  4. I love it! It looks like my Mom's house and my house! I think we inherit the love of books from our parents, don't you?

  5. Yes, Kathy, we do get our love of books from our parents. It's one of the greatest gifts she's given me.

  6. That's my kind of place! I have books stacked precariously all over the place, too. It just makes me feel good to know they're there.
