La pénurie
"Pénurie" is the French word for "shortage". I find that throughout my life, there has always been a shortage of bookcases. It seems that no matter how many I have (well, I've only ever had one, if that) I always need or want another. When I watch movies where there are bookcases, or built-ins, or home libraries... I feel such a longing. Because bookcases aren't just for books. They're also for binders, decorative things, pretty storage boxes... they're incredibly functional, which I find very attractive. I wonder if it is possible to have enough bookcases. I'm not saying that i have so much crap I'll never be able to store it all, I'm just saying that they're so beautiful, could you ever get enough of them? At this point in my life, I don't think I could.

I'm with you Steph! I **LOVE** books and bookcases. My dream house has a huge library with a roaring fire in the fireplace, and lots of comfy places to sit and read or a table to sit and study.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and leaving me a nice comment about art journaling. Hope you get some time to play in yours this weekend! :-)
Steph, I'm catching up on some of your posts. I love this one. I have always dreamed on have a large library full of bookcases with the obligatory ladder that slides along the rows (think audrey hepburn in "funny face" or Belle in "beauty and the beast") Such a romantic notion... but I agree!
