It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (6.4.12)

It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, isthe perfect way
for me to
begin my week and allows me to
focus on what
needs to be read and to see what I
have or have not
accomplished the previous week.
I also enjoy
discovering new books by
visiting other participants
blogs.

This past weekend was the annual Back-to-the-Beach book sale at one of the local churches. I’ve gone for the past two years and always end up with at least a few books. This year, not only did I get some books (see my Stacking the Shelves post link below) but I also ended up with a hutch and sideboard piece for my dining room. I had dragged my husband along with me to the book sale and while he didn’t find any books, he did notice that the two furniture pieces were for sale and they would be the perfect fit for our house – it’s a craftsman style house that was built in 1913 and has all wood trim throughout the house. The two pieces were built in the 1940s and look like they were made for our house. Now all I need to do is find the perfect dining room for the room!
