Books And Fall And Happy

FINALLY!!!!!!  I have finally gotten all my bookshelves up and most of my books up on the shelves.  I have also found all my fall stuff, so yeah my book nook is looking pretty cozy.

Now all I need is a comfy chair, a cozy blanket and a tall dark and handsome man to bring me wine and coffee and all will be perfect in my new little happy spot.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Messy Books

We all know that I am the ultimate bibliophile.  Oddly enough though most of my books are pretty messy and beat up.   I bring my books with me everywhere, to work, to vacation, to road trips, to the bathtub, to the pool...pretty much everywhere.  They get tossed in my back back, under my bed, the back of my truck.  I know a ton of fellow bibliophiles who would never dog ear a page and do their best to keep their books in pristine condition...yeah me, not so much.  I dog ear my pages, I write in
the margins and in the back of books all the time.  There are always drips of coffee or a splotch of rain.  I like my books messy though.  It reminds me of when and where I read them.  When I open up my book from our cruise I smell sea salt and coconut oil and am immediately taken back to a happy place.  My books are a part of my life, they go with me everywhere and I am not ashamed that they are as marked by my life as I am.  Now that being said, I do have some very special and very beautiful books that are cared for as if they are priceless treasures...which to me they are.  These however are the exception.  In summation my books are like me, used, traveled, messy and alive.  So if you ever stop by my bookshelves and start flipping through my books, look for the marks of life on them and know that these books have lived life along with their current owner.  Happy Reading Everybody!

My Magic Coffee Press

I love my coffee press.  It is the perfect size to take with me anywhere and keep in coffee no matter where I want to read and drink coffee.

No matter where I am, I can have a couple cups of fresh hot coffee while I read my wonderful books, YAY ME!!!!!  Happy Reading Everybody!

Just For Me

Just finished the most insanely awesome week with my Mamma, I am happy exhausted.  One of the things we did while she was here was visit the Renaissance Festival.  While we were there we found a place where a guy did amazing calligraphy and this is what my wonderful Mamma had made for me.

This was made using a pen that was over 100 years old!  It's hard to see in these pictures but there is gorgeous gold scroll work behind my name.  With a name like mine the only time I get things with my name on it is if it is specially made, but nobody else can claim it as theirs :-)  Hope everybody else is having as fabulous a week as I am.
