Would it be nice to hang art on my mailbox and a couple of trees outside provided they float during a flood?

These are a visual feast for the eyes! I know that digital books are the wave of the future, but for now, nothing makes me feel more at home than books and pictures. Thanks, Kristie, for filling my bucket.

LaJuana,
If books really go out of style, we can just go to yard sales and buy them all for cheap – and keep lining bookcases with them! Your comments are treasures to me.

Funny – I always love the look of artwork hung on the exterior of a bookshelf, but then I wonder about the functionality of it. How will I get to all my precious books??? In this house, we need every last inch of bookshelf space! Looks pretty, though. 🙂

I’ve always wanted to do this! Someday, when I find the perfect piece of art . . .
