Back in September, I shared these book stacks that I'd
put together for my shop. All but one of them have sold,
so it was "time to book" again.
I really love putting book stacks together.
I love finding books that look beautiful grouped together -
and they are one of my favorite things to photograph.
This is my favorite newest book stack.
I had 3 red books in my book piles that were all
missing their spine covers. I love the contrast of the
red against the worn, brown sides.\
Isn't that little ICE wagon adorable?!
It belonged to my father-in-law when he was a child,
and when they came for a visit last month,
they brought me his set of these toys. Love them!
I bought the top book specifically because I loved the cover.
This book isn't in a stack - I listed it all by itself,because I just love the title.
It's filled with absolutely adorable illustrations from the 40's.
I love this pretty stack of deep reds.
School book stacks are always a favorite for me.
As much as I love old school items - you'd think
I actually loved school as a child, but I didn't.
How in the world I ended up becoming a homeschool parent
(16 years and counting) still amazes me.
I'm sure my old teachers would be amazed as well.
This stack is singin' the blues.
any other books - it's mammoth! You could wallpaper
several rooms with the 3,000+ pages in it.

Its cover and spine are so very worn,
and beautiful because of it.

I never thought the mountains of books I had would ever start to diminish,
but stack by stack, the mountain has become a mole hill, so I can
finally start bringing more home again.
Blessings,
Angie

ReplyDeleteHi Angie
ReplyDeleteI love your vintage book displays. I adore old schoolbooks. I recently bought a few old books at the swap meet, and have yet to put them anywhere. I like your idea of tying them together and displaying them. Thanks for inspiring me! I enjoy reading your blog as you always have such great vintage finds. Have a great weekend.

Wow, I have that exact same dictionary. My husband found it and loves it so I am not allowed to tear the pages out for art. I have to admit it looks right at home in my entertainment center right next to the DVR. Very pretty book stacks ; )
