some tell, more show

I contributed some earrings and note cards to The Sampler last month and received a subscription for the month in return! Lots of lovely trinkets, bibelots, jewellery, and buttons. Like Christmas in July!

Also, my backtack goodies arrived last week and this picture scarcely does them justice. I got a lovely notions holder (here, have a closer look), a quilted book holder, and all manner of other sewing and beaded goodies! Thank you, back tack partner! Now, if only I could figure out who you are… (found the fabric in the gallery, but no “from” & “to”!)
I have to admit, I’ve had these pictures taken and downloaded for a few days, but I was enjoying hearing about everyone’s book organization so very much that I delayed posting as long as I could so that I could keep collecting your comments! Thank you! When I posted the question I mostly expected minor variations on genre/alpha-ordered books so I was thrilled and floored by so many different organization techniques! I’m happy to say that my books have been shelved and the rest of the studio is coming along nicely (we’re 90% there), so stay tuned for the impending reveal. The anticipation!
I never left a comment on the book-organizing post because, I guess I don’t have one.
One time I met someone from a different department when I was in library school. He said “Oh, you must have tons of books!” I said, “No, I just check them out of the library.”
I really don’t have tons of books, but I have a lot of craft books and those are all together for the most part. Everything else is by size.

“one” being “an organizing system” in the comment above, I mean.

Oh, I’m a little jealous of all your goodies!

It was me, your backtacker that is. Well actually it was not me it was my Mom but she is blogless so she is living vicarously through mine. Glad you like the treats.
