Home library

I've always wished I can sit in my own library, having a half of the day to spend in reading one of my favorite books since I was in high school. The feeling of just sitting in the middle of piles and shelves of books itself is enough to make my day.



But it may take a looooooong time to complete the collection, or even it may just not have an end at all. If my books lay up like it shows above in the picture, then I will be blocked by this sort of small obstacle to get the bottom ones. Actually, that's really annoying.

It was $ 14.00,  but now it's $8.16.
It always reminds me of Aladdin's magic lamp.

Wedgwood Ulander-Powder Blue Footed Cup & Saucer Set-Peony Shape

Who can resist the desire to be accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea when reading a wonderful book in hands. Sometimes I might forget to sip, but merely the smell is a part of the atmosphere. It seems that it has to be that way to be called reading. Those beautiful cups and saucers are another reason. I just can't let them idle in the cupboard. Here they are!

However, you don't actually need everything to settle down to enjoy the journey of reading.

Ivy style of era

 This book came into my life when I was surfing the net searching for stylish stuff for men. Those pictures are all from last sixties. But you can tell the ivy league school style remains in fashion today.

Glasses + White shirt + plaid shorts + boat shoes

Scala Men's New Yorker WF502 Hat,Brown,L US $ 40.95

A five star has been given to this hat. If you are looking for a warm hat, this is the one deserves a check.

This comes another a little fancy one.

Bailey of Hollywood Men's Sorensen 22709 Hat,Brown,  $ 87.95

Well,  price is fancy too.

Not many colors apply. Probably that's a way to make people feel sedateness.

Anyway, we can still climb up the attic and ransack grandpa's clothes to stand on the top of the waves of fashion. If you want to find some from amazon, give it a try! You know what? We should have a party back to 1960s!
