I love both of your homes, Jorie and Katie. I love decorating with my books, stacking them everywhere. It makes my small home feel cozy. Oh, and lots of old rugs for my dog and cat to nap on . 😉

my wife jokes that when when I get to the point of having rugs stacked on top of rugs, I have turned into my mother. I'm embracing it!

Books are just the best, love the visual art they provide and the opportunity for more surfaces to stack things on. - Jorie

in my pod-of-entropy shrines to Angst and Sisyphus are de rigueur.....next to an Alice-in-Wonderland homage diorama with assorted rabbits in support of the main character as well as creatures who were probable silent extras in the storyline.....a hanging doll with antique head and bloody nurse uniform is covered in Miss Covid memorabilia wearing a "Better safe than Sorry" Barbara Kruger mask hat.....clusters of objets displayed to reveal idiosyncratic concepts give much needed relief from the average news reel! (fun can be had while avoiding the end of the empire).....

That's such a lovely thing to hear. I love that Jorie has connected to your way of interacting with objects and spaces. I feel the same way.

I love hearing that, objects that have meaning are the gifts that keep giving. - Jorie
