anne_dI'm still pottering around, but I think the books are in their final order, more or less.
Aged Dad collected Globe-Wernicke and other versions of the classic barrister bookcase at yard sales, for many years. These are not entirely matched sets, as you can tell, but they're mine all mine. The stack on the left has glass doors on the top three shelves, the one on the right on the top four shelves. Paul decided that they needed a raven, and we had a plastic dollar store corvid from last All Hallows Eve, so there he sits.
This is, with the exception of the books in my studio, my entire library of costume, costume history, jewelry-making, needlework of all kinds including my antique book collection, quilting, clothing-making, millinery, and various and sundry other crafts, and my collection of crafts and needlework magazines*. There are plastic file boxes under the one on the right, holding assorted cross-stitch chart booklets, iron-on embroidery transfers, and vintage and ethnic embroidery pattern books. The two magazine files between the stacks have more embroidery chart books. My patterns are in the boxes on top, and the two hatboxes** hold kimono fabrics and modern and vintage laces, respectively. So there it all is. I can't stop gloating.
*I know. so much paper, but Interweave and Somerset Studios charge as much for their digital versions as they do for the paper ones.
**I chose two I wanted easier access to right now. The hatboxes with my hats and the rest of the storage hatboxes are all in the closet. Which is very full and needs major reorganization, but that's a project for another day. Week. Month.
