When Aunt Kim was cleaning out her classroom, she asked if I wanted a book shelf for the girls. At first, I told her I didn't have anywhere to put one. And in all honesty I didn't think we needed one. I knew we had a collection of books, but didn't think we had enough to fill up a whole book shelf. But after she told me about this one that she had, and the story behind it, I knew that whether we needed it or not, we were getting it.
This book shelf was built for my Mom and Aunt Kim when they were little (50+ years ago). It sat at my Mamaw's house for years until it found its way to its new home in Aunt Kim's classroom. Many Kindergarten and 1st grade books have graced the shelves of this bookcase. And I LOVE that my girls now get to enjoy it! It's not just a bookshelf, it's our bookshelf full of sentiment and memories.
I had NO idea that we had this many books to fill it with! But it sure cleared a lot of space in other areas of their rooms when we consolidated all of the books to one spot.
And the displayed books on the top? (which happen to all hold special places in my heart) Well- I AM a teacher who grew up helping in my aunt's classroom! I come by it honestly yall.
