cookbooks

 

10,000 cookbooks

and much much more

Here is what happened

About two years ago, we had a garage sale. It was the same day as a memorial for a dear friend and I was feeling a bit distracted  

Customers were coming and going.  Hubby was on the scene and so was a gentleman who showed an  interest in wood.

There is almost always a pile of wood in our driveway. It also comes and goes.

The gentleman needed some firewood and a date was made.

Hubby discovered that the Lady of the house loved cookbooks. She has a collection.  A large collection of over 7,000 !

I procrastinate and the Lady leads a busy life, so now almost two years later I have a date with my fellow cookbook lover to view the now almost 10,000 cookbooks. 

The Lady shows us many things.  Dishes, more dishes, crystal and silverware and linens 

Everything has it's  place and is all so orderly 

 Pretty soon we arrive at the library.

It is amazing.   Most of the shelves are in layers, you know, a row in front of  a row.  They are all  well organized, very well organized.  

We visit with the Lady and she shares about her  years of entertaining.  She also sends both  of  us home with one of her own cookbooks  

Adding to my own collection.... not counting them yet 

I live an exciting life.
