I love the feeling of having a day off and I always have brilliant plans for what I'm going to do. I'm usually great for the whole motivated getting things done stuff but it just hasn't kicked in this weekend. I spent about twenty minutes watching the hens having their breakfast today, then made banana pancake things and then we spent two hours on a very blustery beach with Bo who is now absolutely huge. She's brilliant.
Then I did what I'd been meaning to do for ages, I color coded my books. I saw Anna Maria Horner do this a few weeks ago and I thought I have to do that. Although it makes no sense. My cookbooks are all mixed up with my How to build a straw bale house books. I don't know how I'll find anything.
All in all a brilliant, relaxing non productive weekend! I hope your Easter break was great too.

Oh Bo is just gorgeous and I love your books - that's a really good idea, I might have to try that!!
ReplyDeleteWe went to Ardmore yesterday - we were almost blown away - not much comfort but it was fun, we ate our picnic in the car like two seventy year olds!!
Your books look great like that, Lilly! I order my CDs by colour, for a soothing look, and because I don't like the alphabet (so I'd rather look for an artist under Blue). I used to have coloured arrays of books too but I worried so much about the different heights. You can clearly see what a troubled life I lead.
ReplyDeleteYes, we do tend to post at the same time! I'll send you a thought-wave next time I'm planning to reroof the henhouse, ok?
Bo is lovely! I like the idea of colour-coding my books, they do look pretty on the shelf... but I think it will drive me mad that all the genres would be mixed up. I think what pleases me more is keeping them in alphabetical order via author. I think I actually want my own book-shop. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you agonise over wheter to put the black at the start or the end, ??
ReplyDeleteI just wouldn't have been able to make that decision?
Well done you.
Love your blog! I seems like you had a fun day. Btw, I like how you have organized your books by color.
ReplyDeleteBooks look good but might be a bit frustrating if you are in a hurry to find one!
ReplyDeleteWish I could spend 2 hours on a beach you lucky girl.
Oh you're all so right! This colour coded 'system' is driving me crazy. Why did I do it? Because I love everything to look gorgeous. But i'll have to change it back.
ReplyDeleteAllthingsrosie: I love Ardmore! I hope Lia shared the picnic in the car with ye!
Mise: The varying heights is beginning to irk me too.
Jayne: I think you have all the signs of being a brilliant book shop owner!
Jaboopee: I did have black at the start initially! So weird that you would know that!
My Owl barn: Pleased to meet you! Welcome!
Claire: I know, easily known I don't have kids yet! Swanning around for two hours at the beach! x
What a beautiful dog! She must be such a furry bundle of love :) xx
