Ahah Moment # 1 - cookbook bookshelf

My husband said to me one day "Why don't we have a cookbook bookshelf in the kitchen?" My reply... "we have one upstairs in the library." We stared at each other for a minute. Ahah! A bookshelf in the kitchen for cookbooks... where I actually read and use the cookbooks. That made sense!

I'd actually been thinking about this quandary for a while. I'd reorganized a counter so that I could in fact put some favorite cookbooks there.

Out entry table is a bookshelf. It's where I keep the books that have just been finished that I may want to loan out. They wait there until I take them upstairs to the library and put them away. Hubby mentioned putting the cookbooks on there. Then he mentioned moving the bookshelf. I'm a bit territorial over that little bookshelf and it's location. I've always wanted an entry table with a welcoming lamp and a small arrangement of fresh flowers. Moving the bookshelf meant I'd have to move the lamp and flowers... until I can get a replacement.

Well, we moved the shelf. Stacked cookbooks on it. And I love it.

And... I love the new home for the lamp and flower arrangement. So I'm not totally pining away for the entry table. I do miss it. And I've got my eyes open for a better one. But don't tell dh that. ;)
