Thanks to Persephone Books and my favourite book bloggers I desperately needed a new bookcase.
It hasn't been easy finding one which would work as furniture and not cost a fortune.
Last weekend we found just what we were looking for and better still, it was half-price due to a few teensy marks that I will cover with a furniture pencil.
Flinging off my coat and scarf I got down to work bringing armloads of books from my crowded shelves in our spare room. R left the house, I barely noticed.
I emailed a photo to The Heiress introducing the newest member of our family. Yes, I was that excited.
Anyone need a cigarette?
