the pantry book and todays work

check out the link at the right....... please do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this book
i am not affiliated in any way but i adore this book
if you are a foodie and like putting up stuff you will too

if the description of mole's pantry from wind in the willows did it for you......... BUY THIS BOOK


ok
on to today's work
more studio clearing
dishes, and duckies

and still wet clothes hanging on the lines
oye
ok so i should actually get the thermal fuse for the dryer huh?
but i have enjoyed these past few years without it
i know it's only about 20 bucks
yes i know
ok
ok
i'll try and remember it

i am as some of you may remember
organizing the studio and drawing duckie pictures
i have run into a smallish problem
ok not so smallish
ok more like a large problem............. almost huge

it's the BOOKS
i gots them
tons of them
thousands and thousands of them
i never (almost) met a book i didn't like
i am the last home of unwanted books
i never willingly give them up
if i buy you a book.........i most likely will also buy me the same one at the same time
unless i already have read it
i don't have enough space in this house for my books
THAT alone is a good reason to move
but moving at the moment with this economy is out of the question
so i got book issues
they fill the dining room
climb the stairs
wander over mantels, chests of drawers, tables
pile on the floor
pile on the work benches
lean on walls
cover floors and sofa's
are tucked in here and there.........

a bibliophile's dream....
and there are books on almost every subject you can imagine
and some you may not be able to
in addition to history and literature, science, and how to's
are things such as 'naughty victorian pop up books' (not as bad as it sounds.........and quite cute)
books about collecting books
art books, cook books, knitting books, garden books, sci-fi, biographies, commentaries, green books, fairy tales, religions, art, art history, archeology, anthropology, forensics, etc etc etc......
i am if anything a truly eclectic reader
and i like to learn new things about ever 6 months or so
and along with that comes more books
numerous ones on the subject i am learning
plus adjacent subjects....... ( such as spinning, and raising sheep)
big books
little books
oversized books
sideways books

now i refuse to have a book sale
as matter of fact
the annual library book sale is going on right now .............. and i am being good and NOT going
although i really need a new copy of little big by crowley as mine wore out and fell apart

so that actually brings me to

book storage
i need some unique and original ideas
that don't take wall space
which i don't have

i could sooooooooooo use some ideas

(just throwing that out there.........in case someone has a brilliant one)


ok now that i whined about books
i need another cup of coffee

remember you all
that pantry book
i probably should get a second one to put away for when they are 200. each at the out of print and rare book websites
