I love your table top shelf and I don't see any holes. I bought one at the thrift store but it is no where near as pretty as yours. I've read many Sigred Undset books...but not sure if I have read that one.

The library used to save books like those for me when they were about to discard some the librarians knew I would appreciate. I'm a fan of your tabletop book shelf. He could make millions selling them. Does he have an Etsy Shop? Maybe he should! I like its rustic look very much.<br /><br />~JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-92109527967353009352013-07-09T06:48:51.279-07:002013-07-09T06:48:51.279-07:00I always enjoy Abe books newsletter.

Sounds like they love to make you things! Your book selection is lovely. I read Undset's trilogy twice, years ago, and I really need to go back and read it again. Loved it. Have you read "The Faithful Wife"? Is it good? I love Abe Books too.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-81222829281332906352013-07-08T15:54:29.642-07:002013-07-08T15:54:29.642-07:00oooooo. . .love 'Seas and Lands'. thanks ...oooooo. . .love 'Seas and Lands'. thanks for picturing these!heather westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208177272381527614noreply@blogger.com
