Cindy is hosting Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home. Be sure to check out the wonderful postings from other fabulous bloggers! This week I'm showing a few of my books. For as long as I can remember, I have loved books. The first picture is of a group of older books. Those I have tucked away on a high shelf. Many times I have gone antique shopping specifically for books. I like to showcase the books without their book jackets. The book, New Beginnings is a children's school book. I bought it on eBay a few years ago. It came from the Cavalier Public School District in North Dakota. As I opened the book right now to get these details I get this wonderful scent of aged books. I love it. The book has a copyright of 1965 and the front page has "Jimmy" penciled in.

I also like cookbooks. I'm a fan of FoodTV chefs. Ingrid Hoffmann has very easy to follow steps, so they are perfect for a starting cook. It also makes it easy that I have most of the ingredients she uses in her Latin flavor recipes. I posted one of the pages from her cookbook so you can see how beautiful she cooks and presents her dishes. I'm getting hungry..
We just moved 2 months ago and we finally finished unpacking a couple of weeks ago. I decided to sort through my books and give away the ones I no longer wanted. It was difficult to part with them but I promised myself to share. I filled 3 large boxes of books that I am going to donate to Good Will. I hope someone gets to enjoy them as much as I have.

P.S.
Happy Birthday Johnny Cash. You are missed!
Have a wonderful day! ~ Yoli :)

Nice to meet you too ! We have such a big library with books collected over the 40 years we are married in German, Italian, French and a few in English, that now I only buy used books read them and give them away, lol !
ReplyDeleteI do love seeing other people's books! Your New Beginnings books sounds so sweet. I have two old Readers - one in English, one in French, and I keep meaning to put them into a blog post!
ReplyDeleteThe food looks great too. I currently have two big bags of books to give away, but as our Charity Shop is French (obviously) I'm not sure how quickly they sell English books. I know I buy them, but who else..?
I too love books. So very much. Your photo share is super this week.

I love books too! Especially cookbooks. It's hard to let them go isn't it? Looks like you have some good ones. :)Do you have a Half Price Books near you? You can sell you old books there. Try them out if you can.
ReplyDeleteMore books! I shared/complained lol about my husband's books, don't know if I even mentioned the smell of them. That's something I always tease him about, the mustier the better. Truthfully, the books are great, and I think they add character and hominess, both to the person reading them, and to the home. Thanks for sharing yours! Karen
ReplyDeleteI love books too. I gave away a lot when I didn't have the shelf space but now we have new Ikea bookcases so I'm trying to fill them again ;)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend.
