Library Link-up

We were inundated with (1) request for a look at our library.  After much cleaning and pruning, it is now presentable enough to show to the general public.  I was checking out a back issue of a defunct style magazine yesterday and saw an article for party-planning where the bar for the party was situated in front of a wonderful collection of books.  That got me in the party mood and got me thinking I would love to host a party in my library.
Well, short of that (maybe later), I thought it might be fun to have an online progressive party where we show off our libraries and serve up a course or two of our favorite foods. 

Since we are starting this shindig, we will get the party going with drinks mixed by -D and tapas.  Who's next?

  1. The computer told me to leave a comment and I do what all computers tell me to for fear they're actually part of Skynet. So here is my comment. :) Great idea, guys. Your library is so orderly!

  2. Wow, your library is amazing. Once I have purchased my family home I fully intend to have a bookcase purpose built to suit one the rooms. Your room looks amazing, and everything is so neat!

  3. Woo-hoo! I'd really love to see y'all's libraries. Mine will be sad. Sad. Sad. Unless I get to work, work work! :)

    P.S. I'll be out of town for a bit... so put me at the end of the rotation. Pretty please. :)

  8. What a beautiful library! I'd love to join in, but I don't own such a beautiful thing! I have a few old books shelves full of new copies of books. Nothing to boast about sadly.

  9. Bethany: Don't be shy. We would love to have you join our party. I am one of those crazy people that will shut people out of certain rooms in my house until they are "just right." I wish I was not that way. Confession: bookshelf looked nothing like this 3 days ago - nothing.
