Old Books Love
In the cabin at our vacation was a shelf of old books that just fascinated me. I read quite a few of them while we were there. Old books are so amazing; they are like little time capsules. I’m going to scout around for more old books for Texture because they are a treasure.

Sorting House Books for Texture
I organized the upstairs bathroom. Do you know we had over 300 books in there??? We all love to read, me especially, but it was ridiculous. I sent some of the books my kids don’t read anymore with my husband for his class (he’s a teacher) boxed up some for my bookstore, and organized the rest downstairs. Now there are only 15ish books in the upstairs bathroom.
Here are some of the 300!

Century Old Books – Sheer Joy
I got books from early 1900′s at an estate sale for pennies and decided to list a few on Amazon. Some are listed there for over $20!!! They are neat, a few have that clear tissue paper over the gilt-edged illustrations. You can check them out here. You don’t hardly see books like this anymore. I’m going to sell some in my physical store of course but I’m gonna keep some too. These are so neat!

Buying Old Books for Inventory
We cleaned up the basement a few weeks ago and found lots of old books. Most have extensive water damage and are not salvageable, but a few can be saved. I’m not going to use them for Texture but it gave me the idea to start stocking up on inventory by buying used books at yard sales, estate sales, at thrift stores, etc.
