It's that time again . . . post a picture of yourshelf!

[Heidi]

Here's a picture of myshelf, or one of my shelves, at least.

[Sugar Smack]

1. Heidi, that is a damn fine-looking shelf.

I love your way with ornaments.

Here are some of myshelves.







:hi:

[Heidi]

2. Those are some might fine-looking shelves!

(All props for the altar go to my husband. Everything you see was my Christmas '04 gift to him, but he selected and ordered all of it . . . I just paid the bill.)

I am _in love_ with your rattan chair. I spent three years looking for the perfect rattan chair and ottoman for our bedroom balcon (that'll be another dorky copycat thread one day, no doubt) and now wish I'd bought a chair exactly like yours.

I have an inverted wine glass rack almost exactly like yours, too! Mine's from Ikea, though . . . stainless steel and cheap.

[Sugar Smack]

10. Hey, Heidi!

You and bridgit could be sisters, I swear!

Thank you for the compliment! That chair was my aunt Louise's. She loved and kept lots of cats. When my father gave me the chair, my little cat Sophie began her daily and relatively unambitious habit of taking it apart, but I think Aunt Louise would have wanted it that way.

I love it that you got the props for your husband and he arranged them. That, to me, is romantic. I love altars of all kinds.

[Heidi]

18. Wow, that's a big compliment!

Bridgit is one of my favorite DUers!

(When I said "props," I meant all "accolades" to my husband.)

[Sugar Smack]

35. ah, yes, gotcha.

;-)

I love bridgit. She's great-very funny & warm. I saw her posts on a kitten thread last night and we tripped around it! She seems to have a sort of Eastern outlook & taste for art.

[Maestro]

3. Wow!

You have the The Field Guide to Insects and Spiders. I am so envious. :)

[Sugar Smack]

29. heh,heh!

I had to. I go outdoors a lot, and I've seen some really weird bugs. I had to have that book. Would you like to borrow it?

:)

[jandrok]

6. What a rack!

errrrrr...wine rack that is.

[EstimatedProphet]

4. Me being shelfish:

Here's one of our bookcases, with my PKD collection


Our CD/DVD/VHS collection in part


The rest of our books and assorted sundry items


My pride and joy! This is my bar-the cabinet I just got at an auction for $22.50. The liquor cost substantially more...

[Heidi]

5. Too cool!

My husband has a beautiful Samurai sword that his sister and I gave him for his birthday, but you've got him beaten by a mile! Nice ornamental hookah, too!

[EstimatedProphet]

8. It's not so ornamental...:)

actually I do smoke shisha tobacco (the traditional Egyptian kind) with it occasionally. Much more realxing than a standard pipe, and way better than cigarettes.
Thank you about the swords BTW...

[Heidi]

36. Sword

Here's the sword I gave my SO for his birthday. That blade's _sharp_! (I have to learn everything the hard way, even after ample warning.)

[friesianrider]

24. LOL what's with the Jesus action figure!?

Too funny ;)

[Sugar Smack]

30. That whole setup is great.

I really liked looking at your bookshelves. You have these mad little dashes of FUN all over the place! That last pic is really nice, too, with that great cabinet set against the brick wall.

[billyskank]

7. I was going to ask whether this thread was to do with

Sean "Shailing into Hishtory" Connery; either that or were you pished? Now I understand. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

11. hey!

you copied me :P

[billyskank]

20. Thank god I didn't use the same one

In fact I don't remember seeing yours on the site!

[DS1]

9. oh, nevermind

I mished the joke

[deutsey]

17. That's sho funny

:evilgrin:

[UncleSepp]

12. Here's a picture of my past shelf

I wear different hats now.

[AlienGirl]

14. You have many hats...

And other interesting things... :evilgrin:

Tucker

[UncleSepp]

15. Have a business card !

:evilgrin:

[AlienGirl]

16. I see it!

:scared: Scary evil business card!

[catmandu57]

13. That's me

in the upper left hand corner of missouri, along with a few of my friends.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

19. you asked for it!

[Heidi]

21. Excellent!

You have a beautiful shelf, LPFF, and I covet your Magic 8-ball (am I violating one of the 10 Commandments with the covering thing?) . . .

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

27. haha, you're asking me about the ten commandments?

:D I'm probably not the best spokesperson for those, hehe!

I wish you could see my buddha better, he's the little red blob... i rub his belly everyday :)

on edit: the bible is just for show... i got it for my first communion or something like that

[Sugar Smack]

31. There's another gorgeous altar!

I've never seen a thread quite like this one. This was a great idea, even if it was a copycat. I like your arrangement on the shelf, and that's cool what you did with that wine bottle. Beautiful picture.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Here's my bookcases in my study...

[Heidi]

23. That looks like the bookcase in our bedroom . . .

Because of our abundance of books, there's barely enough room for the bed! :hi:

(That looks like a very cool and comfy chair on the lower right, Peggy. Is it leather of linen?)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. Hey, Heidi!

It's good to see you out and about tonight! This room is my 440 sq. foot study; the photo shows most of the south wall. I LOVE my bookcases...

The chair is very comfy, thanks...however, it is a bitch to get out of! The fabric is neither leather nor linen...it's just a cheap fabric, probably poly/cotton or some such...But it is comfy...! I got it at Ikea...and put it together myself. Not bad, huh, esp. for a non-technical person like myself!

I'm heading for bed; it's nearly one in the AM here...See you later!

:pals:

[NMMNG]

25. I don't know--I've never posted a picture of myshelf online before

but I suppose there's a first time for everything:

[Heidi]

28. You and I own many of the same books . . .

particularly the Buddhist titles.

What's up with that phallic cactus candle, though? Is it multi-tasking as a bookend? :rofl:

[NMMNG]

32. ROTFL

That candle was a Christmas gift (I love Southwestern stuff, particularly cacti). My best friend Paula got that for me one day on her lunch break. Her coworkers were making all sorts of lewd jokes about what she was going to do with it when she got it home. I wonder if the phallic imagery was an intentional joke by the candlemaker.

[TWiley]

33. What? No Carl Jung?

I like the William James. I have read several of his books. "The Varieties of Religous Experiences" was a good one, though anti-climatic. He did not endorse any brand of religion or make any direct comments about them. He merely reported on the Varieties of they come in.

[NMMNG]

34. Carl Jung is to the right of William James

The black book

[TWiley]

46. Evidently, i must learn to read this year.

There it is, plain as could be. I have some antique James. One book is a first edition called "psychology". It is very intresting take on the subject. Some chapter titles are "vision", "sight", "memory", "Will" and so on.

Nice Shelf BTW.

[Mutley]

37. I can't.

My shelves are all packed away 'cause we're moving in August. My SO gets a little ahead of himself :eyes:

Post this again in September and I'll be ready.

[Heidi]

38. How about if . . .

we just keep this thread going until September?

I've learned a lot more about my DU friends from looking at their shelves than I've learned from looking at their-selfs (i.e. photos our faces) . . .

:hi: Mutley, my fellow freckled goddess gf!

[Sugar Smack]

39. That's why I love this thread.

I have such a great time seeing what other people read, and I'm seeing a great sense of humor here.

[Mutley]

40. Don't you love freckles?

I just posted this in another thread, but you can really see my freckles it it. Don't mind the bushy eyebrows... I've never gotten them "done".

[Heidi]

41. You have beautiful eyes to go along with

your sun kisses!

Yep, I love freckles. (I'm covered with 'em!)

And who cares about eyebrows? I don't "do" mine either. There's enough pain in life without me inflicting it on myself! :rofl:

[Mutley]

42. exactly!

Some friends of mine say I need to get them done, but I say bushy eyebrows give me character.

[Heidi]

43. And if you ever want that super-started look . . .

that goes along with "shaped" eyebrows, you can always just use your _eyebrow muscles_ to raise them. It's inexpensive and fairly painless. :rofl:

[Mutley]

44. Unless you hold them that way for awhile...

then you're muscles start to get tired...

:rofl:

[Heidi]

45. Ha!

You've inspired me to go for that oh-so-chic Dr. Spock look (at least until my arms get tired!)

[Mutley]

47. Good luck with that!

:rofl:
