Reading Nook Part 2 - In progress

In my August finds post,
I may have hinted at a new obsession | collection

 

Okay, really, it is two new obsessions:

globes

vintage children's books.

I do work in education after all.
No, I am not an educator.


Let it settle in.


Across from my reading nook 

which I detailed on b3hd part 1

There was an empty space just big enough for one of my fave Craigslist deals ever
I redid the chairs for the dining room and you can see them in this post.
But the table...


I painted the top with chalkboard paint and started on the sides.  You'll have to wait for that.
What I did finally get around to though
is that since we built the built in shelves for the office downstairs,
I have these bookcases.
I stacked them on top of the table.
After I cut off about 18 inches from the top so that they would fit.


Gave me lots of display space for thinks like this

and this

and across the top, I just laid out my newest collection

 

Along the side, in the mini windows letting in all of the light

that is a rare sight in these parts,

I lined up the first collection that stole my heart

(the cameras)

What are you collecting lately?
Any other camera, vintage children's books or globe collectors out there?
Do you have a globe that lights up?
I might or might not have one of those...(smile)
