Sunday Fluffing

Hi, Everyone...

I got a little restless on Sunday...

it was too hot to do ANYthing outside and I actually have a couple of projects I'm wanting to do and they need to be done outside.

So, I cleaned my wall of bookshelves in the bedroom...

 This is a whole wall of shelves and I love 'em so much,

I'm trying to figure a way to get them into my coffin when I "go..."

The only thing....

it took most of Sunday afternoon to take out every single book, knick-knacks

and photo frames,

dust them, EVERY ONE and rearrange for a 

fresh, new touch

for that wall of shelves.
You know the kind of things you do that no one else notices but YOU know it's all clean and makes you feel so good. 

I like mixing in a few other pieces with books...
and, when we made the big move a couple years ago,
I lost two hutches...no room for them....
(our dining room is larger but has walls of windows....which I love more than hutches.)
so I am a little shy on places to put some of my....uh....CLUTTER  COLLECTIONS.

Mr. Sweet installed the bookshelves in our olden home when we bought them and when we made the big move a couple years ago,
he disassembled them and moved them to our new home.

The Angel of Thrifting
was with me one day when I walked into my favorite thrift shop and there, leaning up against the wall were these amazing bookshelves..

I was very thankful they didn't just throw them away.

I nearly tore up my wallet getting the $80.00 
out to pay for them. 
( photo was in our olden house)

Having less wall space in the large living room,
we installed the shelving in the master bedroom....
and I LOVE IT.

I have several bookshelves in the Summer House but
the WHITE WALL of SHELVES is, by far, my favorite.

 I'm listening to all this amazing 50's and 60's music and dancing around so much while working on these shelves,
I began to "glisten" (sometimes known as "sweating"...)

and when LITTLE RICHARD came on, books started flying all around the room...

...I found this book at the thrift shop the other day....
it's next on my reading list, I think.

I have 2 more blogger-written books that I am anxious to read.

Summertime is busy enuf with outdoor activities, I seldom pick up a book....
Fall and Winter
are the best times for reading for me. 

"Whenever I want to laugh, I read a wonderful book,

'CHILDREN'S LETTERS TO GOD'.

You can open it anywhere.

One I read recently said, 

"Dear God, thank you for the baby brother, but what I PRAYED for was a puppy."

Maya Angelou

 but it surely does feel good to know everything in my shelves
is dusted and clean.

NOW....to the other side of the room...
