Bountiful Books

We’ve done several posts over the years relating to books — everything from using them to enhance your décor to using them for their much more practical purpose of enhancing your mind. But despite the bounty, we still find ourselves wanting to post again and again and again when it comes to the literary wonders. Especially when we’ve just picked up the first volume of a certain little scandalous series that’s taken the nation by storm... Can you guess what it is?

Snuggle Up

January is just one of those months when nothing sounds better than curling up in a cozy, comfortable blanket (some of my favorites shown here) and reading a delicious book. And when I'm feeling all snuggly and warm while whirling through words of wonder, I somehow always think back to when I'd curl up and read as a child. I could zip through long novels like they were See Spot Run! I tend to take more time to saver every word these days, but occasionally I'll run across a book that I just can't help but devour. My favorite: Year Of Wonders, by Geraldine Brooks. It makes me cry every single time! (And I've probably read it more times than I've checked my E-mail in the last year — it's just that good!) What are some of your favorite books? I'd love to hear some suggestions. oxox, Chelle

Completely Booked

Nothing compares to getting lost within the pages of a good book... except maybe displaying your favorites for all the world to see, which then gives you the perfect excuse to relive the tales when conversations come up about your chosen decorative pieces. We’ve found crates and crates of affordable vintage books, and trust us when we tell you that if organized and highlighted properly, they can transform any room into a wondrous cavern of stories and tales, both literally (because they are actual stories and tales) and figuratively, as they will create a multitude of curious conversations when people visit your home. Happy reading! ~ Chelle
