As I walked closer to the sewer grate, I moved all the little leaf clusters to
keep an even stream flowing.

Wait! This is unexpected. What is this?

I write, but not as much as I want.

But I decorate every chance I get. Not the kind of decorating where you run to Target or Pier1 or T.J. Maxx or other stores where you have to keep spending and spending and spending. I just love to rearrange the stuff I have over and over and over again trying to come up with just the right combination of stuff to make it look cozy and comfy without looking cluttered and tacky.

And today I am sharing how I decorate with books. I love how books feel and smell and I love dust jackets and colored covers. I’ve bought books at garage sales for twenty-five cents never intending to read them but knowing I could use them for something fun down the road.

These are my bookshelves that are color coordinated. They are located in the living room, you can see the crown molding behind the shelves way up on top. Don’t look at the titles. And if you do zoom in and look at the titles, don’t judge me.

These are my gardening books which are way way way up high in the dining room because I no longer have to garden. We live in a woods. We have creeping charlie and coyote poop. We have deer that eat everything and anything. We have possum playing possum and fox (red, not Megan). My gardening days are done, but my gardening books are too cool not to keep on display.

And my pet care region. Volumes of information to be read about dogs. Cats? Just ridiculous little quotes about cats is more than anyone would ever need to know.

My recent compilation of items?

Play this music to get your self ready, because this is how excited I get when I nail a decorating piece to perfection!

You all ready for this?

I present for your approval Wicked and Son of a Witch along with my autographed Buddy Ebson’s The Other Side Of Oz AND a tin can. Green bird only serves to add visual appeal and (as if we needed it) more whimsy.
