Having lived virtually all my life in old houses around the world that all needed some sort of TLC!! (Tender loving care) As for buying a house for its bookshelves, why not indeed? It is a perfectly feasible idea.

But first you need to dig up that holly fern and move it over where that yew is..."<br /><br />Pax Deux, Diderot is my favorite philosophe. And yes, keep this a deep dark secret!<br /><br />Orannia, believe me, it never ends!cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-62169456162002452342010-06-01T19:39:15.165-05:002010-06-01T19:39:15.165-05:00LOL!

After reading your blog, I ran out and tried to locate your story (possibly inconveniencing several other people along the way -- is there a name for that effect?) And of course it would be Diderot who first and so humorously wrote about that particular human folly.<br />I will not share this with my sweetie whom I have just conscripted to renovate our second child's bedroom :lol:Pax Deuxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-26924114928501873112010-06-01T17:42:59.165-05:002010-06-01T17:42:59.165-05:00That's so true!

(I want a new mattress, but I want a king size so I'd have to replace my bed and the end tables, and that wouldn't go with the dresser and armoire....).<br /><br />And I would totally buy a house for the bookcases. In fact, it was a major selling point of the current house.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186095863138194149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-70214008961143627122010-06-01T17:29:57.088-05:002010-06-01T17:29:57.088-05:00I see this heaps with the people I tattoo-- one go...I see this heaps with the people I tattoo-- one good one makes the rest look bad.

Now I know what to call it. <br /><br />Alas, I generally don't have the money to buy replacements after a certain point, so my environment is always Diderot-stymied.Sphinx Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429797402360703839noreply@blogger.com
