Bookcase

My Bookcase. Ok, OUR bookcase. My husband doesn't like the 'messiness' of a bookcase, but he wasn't brought up in a reading household, poor thing. The reason for these pix is this handsome plaster polar bear. I found him on a clearance shelf in some craft store years ago and he has only been out to play at Christmas. Until now. I decided to start dressing him up and am waiting for someone to notice. His scarf is a fashionable selvage scrap from the Pine Lake quilt trimmings. The driftwood is from the beach.Book ends. I have had these Abe Lincoln bookends from my childhood, probably from my dads childhood.Another driftwood piece with pine cones.
2 of the jars hold sand, the left hand one is sand from Tasmania!!!! The red on the right is from Mars. I wish. It's from Utah and Wyoming. The other jar holds pebbles/rocks from various road trips.

  1. I am a book junkie! I have way way too many books and they just keep coming. The only thing that makes my husband crazier is the magazine subscriptions...out of control.
