Forget your madeleines; nothing summons the remembrance of things past like an old book.
I freecycled this large, beautiful bookcase with deep shelves, and started unpacking boxes of picture books. Now I am welling over with nostalgia. Mixed feelings mostly joyful, except when I look at all this treasure and think about not having grandchildren to share it with.

There's nothing quite as satisfying in a house as a beautiful old bookcase full of beloved books.

Yes!

Big brothers/big sisters? Or a similar mentoring sort of organization?

[boxofdelights]

That's a good idea.

Outstanding bookcase will last into a better future where there’s are grandchild-adjacent folks in your life.

Ah, I hope so!
