Spring Uncluttering and Rearranging


I have been doing a bit of Spring Uncluttering and Rearranging this past week and it has come to my attention that the books are taking over!

It is getting harder and harder to find places on my shelves for the strays that find their way onto side tables, chair seats, and into bags on the floor. 

I try to keep my collection pretty much corralled on three shelving units. You can see them here at my contribution to Danielle's Lost in the Stacks which ran about a year ago. Believe me, the shelves are much fuller now.

Not that this abundance is a bad thing, but I do like my space to be tidy. And it gets harder and harder to part with books as my library is pretty much filled with ones that hold some sort of sentimental value for me - either because they come from my family library or they were purchased on a trip. And some I just simply want to keep. 

I will have to be ruthless! 

Perhaps I should have another Belle's Book Giveaway.

Or maybe I could just build more shelves...

What has been occupying your time now that Spring is here?

Belle is Lost in the Stacks!



I am very excited to be starring this weekend in Danielle's Lost in the Stacks feature on A Work in Progress. Here you will get to see my bookshelves and read about a few of the books that hold special meaning for me.

Danielle's is one of the book sites I followed for a year before I stepped out and started Belle, Book, and Candle on January 1, 2012. Danielle and I also exchanged snail-mail postcards as part of this year's Month of Letters Challenge held in February. 

I am posting here some additional photographs showing my bookshelves in situ. Closer shots of my shelves are on Danielle's site.

If this is your first visit to Belle, Book, and Candle, please stop by again.
