The Library

 My books finally have a place of their own.  I have always wanted to display the many wonderful children's books that I have collected over the years.  I love collecting old books such as the ones on my top shelf.  They have the prettiest illustrations.

 The library is the place of honor for my Chris.  This is the picture we used for his memorial service.  It shows him enjoying his books.  My dear friend Jennifer did such a nice job capturing his love of reading.  This black apothecary chest was in his room and it held all of his favorite books.  So together they hold a place of honor in the library.

This bookshelf holds the many Dr Seuss books that have either been donated to Chris' Korner or were Chris' personal books.  This is the rocking chair that was in Chris' nursery.  I bought the giant Cat in the Hat when he was just a baby...little did I know what a huge fan he would become. (The Domo is Dylan's addition)

 Sorry for the fuzzy picture (camera phone).  This is a pennant banner I made from a Little Red Riding Hood book that had great illustrations.  I just love it!  I will be making more with other torn and tattered books.  Here's a close-up of one of the pennants:

And lastly, here's the view of the library from the kitchen: 

Since it's where I spend most of my time, I do enjoy being just a step away from the library.  I'll post more pics next time of the other rooms. Blessings!
