Books

I came across this article about arranging bookshelves. This got me thinking on how I arrange my own books so I trooped over to the reading area and this is what I saw:

Old magazines I find interesting together with Terry, Harry, Sir David, A.S. and a snapshot from a friend's wedding...

my precious Make and Craft zines, my precious Bob Ross, Bill, Haunted (best gross-out book EVER), old organizer notebooks, button making machine, excavation toy...

Relic from a Spanish class I took, boy books, girl books, etc...


Lovely rocking zebra, colorful cocoa tin I got in a Bangkok grocery, Jules Verne and other mindprickling books...

children's books, a Wedgwood, polaroid from a friend's wedding...


my favorite Gocco print, art and science, a college class picture...

hardbound and heavier books, a wooden box from Thailand...

my Neil Gaiman shrine smooshed with project notebooks and journals -- sorry, Neil; and the box of a murano glass pen I dropped (sob)...

graphic novels, wedding candles and soon to be posted posters...

craft receptacles...

Egypt books and other what have yous...

my good friend, Sherlock and other interesting friends.

Hmm. I'm trying to be more organized, but I love how haphazard my bookshelf arrangement is; with the first couple of shelves arranged by genre and slowly getting unhinged as you go down. How about you, how do you arrange your books?

Hibernation Over

After months of running around like a headless chicken at work and a weary week in an internet-less home, here I am, back and (hopefully) raring to put more stuff in this poor neglected blog.

It may have been quite sometime, but nothing much has changed save for some new-new stuff and new stuff from old faves:

Luxirare - she. is. amazing. I could live in her brain and swim in her creativity and eat her gorgeous food.


Eliza Frye - Still awesome as ever. Sale over at her website!



Martha Stewart - I got into her a bit late but now I understand why she's THE ultimate domestic diva.


Gastronomica Magazine - is addictive. Now if only I can find a steady supplier here in my neck of woods.


Craftzine and Makezine - My own personal wondertwins. I wish I could buy each and every issue.



Neil Gaiman's Library - W O W. Read the full feature in Shelfari.
