I believe Crabtree & Evelyn still sells nice drawer liners, although they've changed the prints by now. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234162572763034574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-43172021808352224002014-09-17T09:08:50.099-05:002014-09-17T09:08:50.099-05:00Oh, how lovely, what a nice way to connect with so...Oh, how lovely, what a nice way to connect with someone! I'm sure he enjoys the added dimension to your friendship, too! <br /><br />That particular shelf in my photo holds some of our English anthologies leftover from college days (and a vintage '40s textbook I bought at a used book sale), as well as some Shakespeare and poetry. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234162572763034574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-56620134582521881912014-09-03T21:47:09.875-05:002014-09-03T21:47:09.875-05:00Yes, I look at other people's books too. I wa...Yes, I look at other people's books too. I was even tilting my screen on its side to try and look at yours!<br /><br />Its amazing how a bookcase can reveal things a normal conversation won't do! We had an elderly, retired (and very deaf) lawyer come to our home, see a copy of Johnson's essays (which to be honest I hadn't looked at since University days). He took it down and read aloud while discussing his love for Johnson and other great (and neglected) English classics. Now almost every Sunday at church, he pulls me aside and shares with me a quote or an anecdote from his reading, or lends me a book he's enjoyed, and I've been able to develop a fascinating friendship (and a greater appreciation for the classics) which I don't think I would have otherwise had (especially given how hard of hearing he is).Priscillanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-61342913463602222212014-09-03T14:18:07.256-05:002014-09-03T14:18:07.256-05:00I love those drawer liners!

It's funny, when I was little I was taught not to be snoopy or stare; ie., respecting people and their property, for which I'm grateful for. However as I've gotten older and appreciate books so much more than I used to, my curiousity gets the better of me when I see a shelf full of books. It's even easier for me to do it when I've seen the other party stare at my own things! ;PCherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279806588780362328noreply@blogger.com
