What's In Your Bookcase?

Bookcases have always been a favorite feature in a home for me.
What better way to display books & art & a little bit of this and that .

Venice, Italy - Castles Crowns and Cottages, Europe: Simply Irresistible Link Party

 

While I have been to Italy quite a few times,
I have never been to Venice.

I have always wanted to go but haven't!
Can you believe that?

Castles , Crowns & Cottage asked me to plan an imaginary trip.
So here goes- a trip to Venice!
Come along with me as I take us to Venice, Italy.
