I like the old fixtures too!
This was one of the lights above a bookcase.
A view from near the front...many bookcases!
I love Christmas villages.
The photos loaded backward, so this was their pretty entrance.
NOTE: today's weather...we were forecast to have early storms as a front moved through. It was 45 when I woke at 7, and the storms are not coming till mid-afternoon as of now. We shall see.
Sharing with Little Things Thursday
Today's quote:
We are not an endangered species ourselves yet, but this is not for lack of trying. -Douglas Adams, author (1952-2001)
Looks like a good store, and I like your quote at the end.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I looked for favorite authors...a million James Patterson editions, but I'm not in the mood for his works.
DeleteI love them too. So much so that I'll have to buy another bookshelf before the end of winter.
ReplyDeleteOh that's funny!
DeleteAh yes, so we gladly wore masks...helped a lot!
ReplyDeleteI love that bookstores are still around and full of good books.
ReplyDeleteI really have more than I will ever read...and I'm yearning to read some that I haven't read for a few years, like old friends!
DeleteThe Free library on the porch of the old store next door is overflowing with used books. I took a stack there earlier this week. It's an open Used Book Store with phantom price tags reading $0. One day we hope the old store will become our new library & community center. The store owner (the widow of JD Salinger) is willing to give it to a nonprofit which will raise the money to renovate it and then give it to the town. This March the town votes at town meeting whether it will accept that gift. Can you believe some people are against it?
ReplyDeleteUsed bookstores, like fabric stores, are now on my no-go list. I have too many books and too much fabric as it is.
ReplyDeleteWell, I still have lots of beautiful fabric, but haven't had a sewing maching for 6 years, and my hands shake too much to sew with needle and thread...but these are rayon skirts which I loved. I'll keep them even though I can't wear them. And I must stop with books! Of course I could give some away to various places...there are several little free library kiosks around town.
DeleteVery nice. Used Bookstores are the fabric of a community.
ReplyDeleteThere are really some superb ones around here...but going out of town makes it an adventure!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI would love to explore this book store. I love the last quote. Have a great day!
Thanks Eileen...whenever you wish to travel to North Carolina's mountains, I'll show you where it is!
DeleteUsed bookstores are great and so are the charity shops here. It's hard to pass up 3 books for a euro and there is no problem finding three.
ReplyDeleteGreat price. I think buying just 2 books on this trip was a good thing for me to do. My friend Teresa brought some donations to the used book store.
DeleteI love them too. And have too many books, like most of the commenter here! I have been trying to downsize my collection but its not nearly as easy as I hoped. Too many favorites!
