Books glorious books!
As much as I love reading them, I also love decorating with them.
My level of skills in this latter department is still in it's baby shoes, but for example the table I saw at Habitare sparked my old book hoarding again!
In my apartment as it is the book table (literally) would look a bit cramped and in want of a better word, fuddyduddy, but maybe in some more open space (i.e. less clutter) it would look really cool!
But I might sill give it a go, if I find enough pretty books to make it with.. which shouldn't be a problem with Kierrätyskeskus close by...!
Here's where most of my pretty old books are at the mo:
I found another old school book (similar to these ones) from KK as well, check das aus:
Kasvioppi (= plant study) from 1959
Previous owners:
Dinosaur ferns, dryopteris:
Ornamental plants:
Waterlily:
Wood anemone:
I've never thought of potato as a particularly pretty plant, but look!
I think I have to frame this and have it in my kitchen, so pretty:
What humans see as a weed, dandelion:
Peas in a pod:
And last but not least, build me up buttercup (our theme song during fieldwork periods in Lapland)
I love the dainty colours and nature theme combined with the schematic way of drawing.
And the font is really nice as well.
Lovely!

hilarious (well, I thought so...) picture from the same book:
It reads: What a school boy would look like if he was offered plant nutrients instead of a meal.
And there's a bottle of carbonic, a glass of water and a plate of salt in front of him.
Snorty guffaw!
This pokes my dorky-science-humor button.
