Small books

We have a small dresser we kept from our old house. I keep all my small books on the shelves. In the farmhouse it had China & keepsakes on the shelves, some of you might reminder it in the kitchen.
I was hoping for a whole wall of bookshelves when we altered the bungalow but it didn’t happen so I got rid of lots of my books to the charity shops. I did manage to keep my favourites in two other bookcases & these are the small ones.
You can also see a photo of my mum & Harrys massage ball for his back.
I was up early as I kept wondering if my hearing aid was in the green bin. Had a good look before the bin men came but no sign of it….i shall keep looking before I get the new one on Monday. I can cancel.

I love this peek into your life via the books you show here! Overall, your shelves here remind me of my own, with both an assortment of books as well as a photo and knickknacks! :-) Sorry the hearing aid hasn't shown up! May still, eh? The best to you as you continue to search for it! Good that you can cancel the new one! :-)

I love looking at people's bookshelves. You did well to have such a huge cull. I have given some away but still have a houseful of books.

[Rick Schies]

Nice collection, and after a thorough search, your mind still plays games

[KWind]

Great shot!

A lovely collection of books. Couldn't help but notice the one on Venice which would have come in handy for your trip.

I love to see people's books! I've read the Salt Path and Barack Obama's book. I love to see your old books on the top shelves too. x

Always nice to have a good selection of books

[Jo]

I remember pictures of these shelves in your previous house. I always admired the books and nick knacks you had arranged on them then

[Bep]

A lovely collection, Pat.

Lovely to peek into your dresser full of books , I remember when you moved where to put your dresser - it seems to have come in very handy ! Some lovely little gems there , I find very little use to my dictionaries and thesaurus these days as it is much easier and faster to look up on line ! Love the homeliness of your bottom shelf - - the light bulb in the vase!( no energy used there !! ) A lovely photo of your Mum, and Harry's massage ball , I have a squeeze ball but no prickles on mine !! Don't they have a will of their own and can be found in the oddest ogf places !

Thank you all for your really lovely comments about the bookcase!
It looks very different than it did before but I like seeing these smaller books there. Some very old ones belonging to my mum who loved her poetry & some from all our childhoods …..Beatrix Potter etc. some books with graces in I bought when Cathy got married for someone to say Grace before the wedding breakfast. Most of them have stories connected to them in some way.
I’m not posting tonight as we’ve had a busy day & it’s my favourite TV night. Back tomorrow night!


@beryl surprising how much relief that silly plastic ball gives when you roll it along on your back!
