My neighbor across the street did a very nasty thing (but I forgive her)! You see, I only had one week off over the summer (I was used to 10!) and this job change came very suddenly. So I spent this particular week cleaning & sorting; the kind of stuff that I used to take all summer to do! I was on a roll....a mission. Organization before mommy is at work full-time.
No! Don't look! neighbor across the street is having a YARDSALE....
"move away from the window, mom"
"your getting RID of stuff, dear!"
So I go try to occupy myself in other ways. I'm really not a yardsale junkie, but what did me in was the fact that I spotted SHELVES across the street, just steps away!! Glass enclosed shelves.
They got me....my family laughs at me weakness, but I think they look pretty nice!
Boy do I love books, old & new!

It Never Hurts To Look!
That is a really nice case for your books. So Glad you looked out the window when you did. I mean what if you didn't? What a loss that would have been.

You really won, Bonnie! They're beautiful... why ever did your neighbor get rid of them?! I love your books... ahhh.

I know how it is! It is always so tempting! Have a wonderful weekend, blessings, Kathleen
Hey, this is a GOOD purchase!
Great purchase! Storage is a large part of cleaning so buying such a useful storage item is just smart buying! lol! Looks super, Jean
I'm a sucker for shelves too, so don't feel bad! They are a great find, love the books too!
But shelves are GOOD! So maybe that ole' neighbor isn't to nasty afterall. I would have carted that cabinet home in a heartbeat. In fact, I have a perfect place for it if you change your mind!
Love that old Jane Eyre book! Its one of my favorites.
Smiles,

They also came in handy see there was a reason you needed to look out the window.
One person's trash is another's treasure and you got a treasure!
And, BTW, I DO like Facebook! LOL

I would have marched right across the street and bought them too, Bonnie! I've got sooo many books, and I'll keep getting more, I'm sure.
Yeah, ya had to have the shelves. I would too. MB
