A Wonderful Quote About Some Of My Best Friends...

You know how important I think books are to the creation of a beautiful home.... they hold their own fascination, their own special vibe, their own worlds and journeys. Books can't help but impart a feeling of comfort, stability, and personality into a home in my opinion.

This is one of my favourite quotes about books...

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~ Charles W. Eliot ~

Here's some gorgeous 'book' pics to celebrate the loveliness of books.














And another insightful quote... a woman after my own 'book bound' heart!

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. ~ Anna Quindlen, "Enough Bookshelves," New York Times, 7 August 1991 ~

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

If you love a good read, I hope you get time to indulge! xox

Ask yourself: 'Do I have many books in my home?'

Which leads to: 'Where do I have them? How are they displayed? Could I re-arrange them so they're better able to contribute to the vibe within my rooms? Are they at my fingertips if I want them?'

Because: Books truly do help 'make a house a home' (in my opinion).

Cheers,

Linda.

    So true. The first thing I look for in someone's house is the bookshelf: if it's missing I know I'm in a pretty cold place...no matter what the decoration is like.

  3. I so agree Bobbi, I feel 'cold' if there's no books anywhere to be seen!

  4. When I was little, and I would visit other people houses and would be confused when they didn't have a bookcase filled with books.
    I thought all houses did

  5. I love to read as well, too bad I don't have much time these days.
    I've got some novel books that I've been collecting for years.
