Librophilia

Hi.  My name is Sarah and I'm a librophiliac... or is it librophile? 
I guess that I bleed books and I love books!

And on a personal note:

Whenever I'm redecorating the house, or taking on a home improvement project, you can usually bet that my Mom is in town.  She is always suiting up in a pair of old jeans, grabbing the paint brush, the caulking gun or some other bit of equipment and busting out her mad skills.  Without her, I would be living in filth - I wouldn't know how to snake my pipes, or edge a window, or grout, or plaster, or do anything really.  So Mom, thank you for all you do and continue to do - I love you and hope you have a WONDERFUL 60th birthday!

Here's the birthday girl on her farm in Eastern Oregon:



...and here she is, brand new in 1951.

The first two may be the sessiest libraries I've ever seen.

And Happy Birthday to a fellow Taurus!

"...I'm a librophiliac" My first thought was you bleed books! My dream home will have built in book cases, either in the formal dinning room or around the fireplace in the family room~:0)

And your love of books and designers eye combine to arrange books for not only their own sake but for their beauty as well. I love my den of bookshelves and the beauty you created in it, made of books.

Having a library is a dream for me. One day when I dont live in a tiny Manhattan apartment I will have walls and walls of books. I should also probably start reading more...
