I will show you how to repurpose your antique books into a fall table setting!
Last Monday I had the house completely to myself for eight whole hours. It was pure heaven. Pure peace. Exactly what I needed.
This fall has been by far, and without question, the craziest, busiest, and frankly, most stressful time I’ve ever experienced.
So getting a day to myself was like therapy to me. I had a loooong to-do list, but found myself setting up an antique book fall table that seemed almost out of a fantasy. Instead of crossing things off of my to-do list, I turned on music, carefully added more leaves to the twig tree, moved things around, and took lots of pictures of my creation. I was having so much fun that I forgot about how stressed I’ve been and thoroughly enjoyed my quiet house. I feel most at peace when I am creating something, and it felt good to be doing something that made me happy.
Please enjoy my Antique Book Fall table, and if you’re feeling stressed today, maybe it will help you feel more calm and at peace too.
{As I was setting up this table, an old place card fell out of one of the books. How beautiful, no?}
Have a great day.

Designing and crafting is my happy place, too… but, only when I am not rushed! I am glad you got to enjoy a peaceful day and I just love this book table arrangement! So pretty and unique. I also really like your table and chairs!

Very pretty. I love the twig tree! I need to make one for my dining room. It adds the perfect amount of height that I need. Did you make or buy the leaves? As always….thanks for the inspiration.
