  1. Hi!

      Thanks, Rachel; wonderful!

  2. I love this post! I consider myself a book hoarder. 😂 This gives me lots of ideas.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Right there with you, Susan! Glad you got some ideas!

  3. Lora, This post is great! Who does not like a pile of vintage books? I love all the great ideas you shared. I think I must have pinned at least 3 pictures as I was reading. Thanks for stopping by the Home Imagined Link party and sharing with us. Have a great week. -Meagan

  4. BRAVO J’ADORE VOTRE CREATIVITE ;

  5. Loved seeing all of your ideas! I tend to collect paperback mysteries–my current fave! But I do have several collections, i.e. old Hardy Boys in the tan with brown print covers. Years ago, my dollhouse club took old Reader’s Digest Condensed books, cut the book part out and made little roombox frames with foamcore; the OLD RDCB have the most beautiful end papers that doubled as wallpaper! Imagine pulling a book off a shelf and finding a little scene inside! It was so much fun! I did one for my daughter with flatback Nutcracker ornaments and a Christmas tree scene.

      I love to hear about your dollhouse creativity, Kathy! Yes, I love the patterned papers on the old RDCB; my faves!

  6. I love old books, I found old books for children and old math book and of course dictionaries. They are full of wonders, thanks you have given me a few ideas I didn’t think of.

      Yes, old childrens books and school books are wonderful!

  7. I LOVE THIS!!! So many amazing ideas…your photos are beautiful, Lora!! I’m on the hunt this year for MORE BOOKS…in greens, tans, whites, and grey. If you see any, let me know…you are way better at finding them than me!! Such a fun post…this was a great way to start the day!

      Sooo glad you found some free ones, Rachel! Have fun decorating with them!

  8. Love these ideas! I’m in love with everything to do with books as well and have several book displays in my home. I made a great display of holding a stack together with an old leather belt- worked like a charm and looks fantastic in the corner of our library. Can’t wait to try out some of these ideas myself; loving displays of pages removed from books! Beautiful!

      So glad you enjoyed all the ideas, Rachel! I can’t help myself from picking up beautiful old books at sales, even thought I have plenty already. They can just be used in so many ways!

  9. Love the books with spools in a bowl! I’m heading to the library later today to see if they have a copy of that Junk Genius book… Thanks.
